Hey everyone I am new to the forum. I have a 1986 fz600 that I picked up for cheap, great deal. I cleaned the carbs and changed the oil and the bike started up great. I ran it for bout 50 miles and let me say, this bike loves turns, sharp turns long turns it eats them up. Bike shifts super smooth its awesome, but then it started bogging down and shut off, a few mins later and it started back up again. then shut off after bout a mile.
i got it back home and i noticed my far right carb was leaking fuel, badly. So I drained my oil and yeah, quite a bit of fuel in my oil. Could that be why it was shutting off?
I have adjusted and readjusted the floats countless times, I am now looking at any alternative leaks, when I take the carbs off and stick my finger into the intake all are dry except for the far right intake. I am also using K&n pods instead of the stock airbox......it came that way and I have looked for the stock airbox and have had no results. Could that also be an issue?
I am very new to working on motorcycles, any advice will be greatly appreciated. This was supposed to be my daily driver and for now im stuck walking 3 hours to work until I get this machine back on the road.
