stalling and non starting GK76a
hi i have a 1991 GSXR400 and have very limited knowledge as im a new rider. i have trouble starting it even when bumped. when it (eventually!) starts, it idles and sounds reasonably healthy but as soon as i go to ride it stalls and fails to start again. i had it serviced and carbs cleaned in Nov but has been only started a few times since and petrol may be stale? will redex help? can anyone help with this?? any advise will be gratefully received!! many thanks
Andy

Re: stalling and non starting GK76a
Did you replace the dredded O-rings in the carbs? If not then there is your likely problem.

Re: stalling and non starting GK76a
As long as you are able to pull the carb insides apart and put it all back together again (with new O-rings of course) then it is a fairly easy job if you take your time. To be honest the hardest part is usually getting at and removing/re-installing the carbs from the bike.

Re: stalling and non starting GK76a
excellent im going to give that a go. ive found a page of instructions for removing carbs. the set of o-rings ive found do not include 'bowl gaskets', is it vital i replace these too?

Hi J,
If the o'rings are from fleebay they are from me, regards bowl gaskets rf600 are the same but about £6 each so i only change em if they leak.

Re: stalling and non starting GK76a

Hi Andre,
This is a link to the RF600 kit so you can see if the gasket is the same. Think it is just the bowl and the o'rings altho i sell the o'rings for £11.
