Sent the carbs away to a local specialist three weeks ago, got them back and it's leaking fuel out of one float bowl drain. No biggie, but they're going back to him Monday. Meanwhile, I lost my notes on the wiring when I came to put the coils back on. So quick question, do I have the wiring to the coils correct in this picture? It's still not firing up and the wiring may be the reason.
And just to confirm, the lh coil feeds cylinders 1 and 3 while the rh coil feeds 2 and 4, yes?

Hello,
I've been faffing around with my carbs too - so I have a picture of what the wiring looks like on my 03 FZS600. So from right to left (facing FWD), wires are red and orange to the LH coil and grey and red to the RH coil:



Looks like your LH coil wires are inversed.

Also, if you have a multimeter you can check the coil resistance while you've got it all apart.

Cheers!
So in theory cylinders 2 and 4 should still be firing, which means I still have a problem somewhere.

Yup, update us once you get the carbs back from the rebuild.

I am pretty sure that the firing order is 1&4 and 2&3.
So one coil feeds 1&4 and the other 2&3!


Edited:
The firing order that i wrote above is wrong,keep only the second sentence!

First coil fires 1&4 second coil fires 2&3
