Hi guys, glad to find a Forum on Kawasakis'
I have a 94 Ninja EX 500 that I just bought 2 months ago with 16K on it.
While riding one day it began to run rough, and then stalled,,
I noticed that there was gas leakage from the left Muffler.
Could this be a cylinder not firing?
If so is it most likely a wire or plug problem?
Thanks in advance,,

[:@]I agree with needle valve stuck open. My Honda 250 Chickenhawk (Nighthawk) lost a needle valve and gas came out the carb. Being single carb, it wouldn't keep running as your two cylinder and two carb bike would, to push the gas out the muffler on the flooded cylinder. Good luck. Harry

Thanks alot guys,,,
I fixed many carbs on Lawnmowers,
on them, if there is a needle issue
than the gas runs out continiusly..
With my bike, the gas flows on startup and not when sitting idle,
So am I missing something [sm=smiley24.gif]?
