If it's not a stuck float chances are it's the float needle seat O-rings: http://www.yamahafz1oa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103599&highlight=found+carb+failure+modeThe key to getting the carbs in and out easily is to make sure the airbox goes back far enough. You should get about 1cm clearance between the carb and the airbox side rubber boot. To do this, pull the EXUP cables out from behind the airbox and also look for the zip tie on the crossframe rail. If the block on this joker is in the wrong place, it will rob you of clearance.Re the airbox rubbers, here's a tip. When you slacken the clamps, push them back on the stubs and then re-tighten them. This prevents them fouling and also helps keep the stubs round. A squirt of silicon lube or WD40 on re-fitting helps a lot, too - particularly in getting the carbs into the head-side stubs.
