hi
my zx400 91 model is hard to start
so i took sprayed carb cleaner into the carbs it runs fine but when that runs out it splutters then stalls
the bike has been sitting for 5 months i put fresh fuel in the tank
replaced spark plugs
it seems like a fuel problem i removed fuel line to carbs cranked it over fuel pumped though.i replaced the fuel filter
any ideas
running trouble

Re: running trouble
Bike sat for 5 months. Sounds like stale fuel.
Drain your tank, carbs and lines.
Replace your filter and put a lick of fresh fuel in her. Should fire up!

Re: running trouble
Might be worth stripping the carbs all together n cleaning them. Stale fuel can block the jets.
