gk73a only starts and idles at full throttle??

Post by bikermike » Wed Jun 25, 2014 10:07 pm

hi all, I'm new here.

I've just bought a gsxr400 and got it running.... Just. Here's the story... I put a new fuel line on and a new battery and it started up. However it only started and ran on full throttle (does about 1500rpm or so). Choke does bugger all. I cleaned the carbs out, all new o-rings and diaphragms and float heights set to the magical 14.6mm
So after this it started and ran like a dream! Then all of a sudden back to normal. I've now changed the fuel line and the ignition coils and leads For new ones. No change in the bike, same rubbish :-( the rubbers between the carbs and engine look new and the clamps grip them really well. I can't think of what it is and I'm really pulling my hair out. If someone out there has had this problem please help me!!!
