just bought a 98 zx750r,
7600 orginal miles,,, very very cold blooded, was a pain to start when i looked at but came into it after about 20mins of tryin,,,,,
so i figured, clean the bowls, check needles, and replace plugs and gas.. oh yah it sat for 3yrs, was only started here and there.
so i replaced plugs, cleaned the bowls,, checked float needles,,
now full choke, fresh 91octane, tap the starter,, blub blub stall....... played with idle screw on the side of tank in several spots,, smells like too much fuel.. battery is full charge.... please someone help,, I really wanna stay with the ninja, my best friend loves his.. but I never ever had an issue with a Gixxer like this
thanks in advance guys

 

congrats on the zx. The low speed circuit of the carbs is the same. Whether a zook or a zx. No biggey, get er done!

 

i figured they look alike,, the carbs anyway.. but still wont run,, just sputter, stall, sputter stall

 

kawi is where its at. if that things been sittin for 3yrs cant complain bout the starting issues. spray some ether in the carbs.

 

ok, let me elaborate a little more. I think the zooks have the mikuni carbs for that year, the zx's have the keihins. Low speed or the slow speed circuits are the same. A carb is a carb.

 

dont mikuni run in most of the kawis tho?
