at last back on my 600 fazer problem.....CRH has helped me out with a long list of possible solutions after quizing a mechanic friend....so my thanks go to both of you ......top of the list....BENT VALVE.....so ive done another compression test
cylinder 1...................140 psi
cylinder 2.....................85 psi
cylinder 3.....................61 psi
cylinder 4...................143 psi
these are average figures as i did the test four times,should be about 160/170 psi ,with 40,000 miles on the clock i was not expecting top pressure, within 10% and i would of been happy,the low readings on cyl 2 + 3 has got me thinking 
i then disconnected the plug caps in turn to see what these figures mead in real terms....
disconnect plug lead no 1...............little bit flat but idles
disconnect plug lead no 2...............flat but wont idle
disconnect plug lead no 3...............little bit flat but idles
disconnect plug lead no 4...............little bit flat but idles
disconnect plug leads 2 + 3............flat but just about idles
disconnect plug leads 1 +4.............wont start
so iam now thinking HEAD GASKET blown between cylinders 2 and 3 the bike runs fine between 4/8000rpm so parhaps the pressure of the 2 cylinders is masking the damaged gasket at mid range but at higher rpm the pressure is too great and the stutter returns ......sounds a bit mad...but could be
[size=78%] i might take the head off and have a look,i can check the valves at the same time and regrind the seats to make it worth while [/size]
good afternoon chaps.........working today but had extended lunch brake and done another compression test 1 2 3 4 results before valve re-grind 140 85 61 143 results after valve re-grind 137 134 132 136 happy with those results shame i lost a few psi`s on 1 and 4  but figures very close now still waiting for air filter ,probs be mon or tues now

yes indeed its all positive stuff,colour tune makes sense and will set the mixture correctly as opposed to x amount of turns out  ....all bikes are different ades very quite ....i know hes lurking in the back ground,and probs grinning from ear to ear ....not because hes got himself a cute new lamb .....oh nooooooooo........because iam now talking carbs again ..........wont be long now before we hear...........................TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO . OHHHHHH.........JUST REMEMBERED........ive got to do another compression test to see what difference the valve grinding has made ...........oooooooooooo iam all excited now

I left the key in the ignition yesterday and when in doors thought, sod it, it won't get nicked, I'll risk it, what I didn't realise was I'd left the ignition on! Came to use the bike for work this morning and flat as a pancake (quite obviously).
I don't need a flashy optimiser I ride the bike every day and this keeps the battery charged, I just need a battery charger to charge it back up, can I use a car charger (I think my Dad's got one in his garage) or does it have to be a special bike one?
Cheers
yes a car charged will do the job.....bump start it and take it for a long ride........much more fun

I assume (always dangerous I know) that you're going to use the colour tune to set your pilot screws? If it makes any difference I may try mine. I bought one about 30yrs ago but it's still in the garage somewhere .
Andy
yes thats the plan ....i too bought mine about 30 years ago and never used it will try to post some pictures when i get the adaptor

I'm just curious now in regards to the air filter - I think everyone is waiting for it to finally be removed and burned in to oblivion... or maybe I'm just more of a pyromaniac than I first thought...
hi DEADEYE......yes air filter is going.....want to set the mixture at the same time

I'm with crh on this . I have followed this thread and amazed at your dedication to the prob but when you have eliminated everything possible whatever is left no matter how improbable is the answer! Get rid of that tiny niggle in the back of your mind and sort the airfilter !!!!!!!
seriously think you have dug too deep on this one.
Good luck mate. Never quit tho!!!
your right there CLAYT74 ...far too deep,glad i did the shims though and the re-seating of the valves is going to help,balancing the carbs is always good......not much money spent on the old girl just time ....i will get it sorted but work busy now ,during the summer months i work 7 days a week,so this time of year iam feeling a bit worn out .....bike keeps me sane
