smilinjack 0 Posted October 26, 2010 What exactly is your problem mate? I don't have any bits to lend you, but I'm obviously near you and could maybe "lend" a second set of eyes & ears. Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees, you never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees, you never know. My problem is ihave a 600 bandit thats firing on 3 cylinders, no matter ho much i clean the carbs and jest and everything it still only runs on 3, tried another set of carbs and it now swapped from cylinder 3 to cylinder 2. but the carbs could not be any cleaner.....So what would cause a carb to not get enough fuel at tickover ???

pugeyed 0 Posted October 26, 2010 take it you have tried leads and coils on that cylinder that you know are good?other than carbs , i cant think of what it can be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suzukijax 0 Posted October 29, 2010 Hubby says try swapping caps 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 so coil 2 3 is now running 1 4 and visa versa to see if the problem moves. If it still doesnt move from 3 then i would look at valve clearances or compression Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flinty 0 Posted October 30, 2010 i did all that suzi, anyway i sorted it now, there was something wrong with the carb bodies, as everything was spotless inside, so i swapped bodies over from 2 sets of carbs to make 1 good set and problem solved, now i got my 600 baby on road for winter wooohooooo !!!
