hurry up red?...its getting dark!!...and ade the night owl is lurking in the shadows!! ...bring us some ..GOOD..news!.Pleeeeeeeeeeze ...
afternoon all you young foccrs .....iam i the oldest foccer in town ? k+n filter arrived yesterday and looks fantastic will fit tonight and have a play with the colour tune in the meantime ,all you foccers out there start thinking about what iam going to do next if this fails, as i think iam now out of ideas
hard day at work yesterday got in at 6 had dinner and thought i would watch the news before fettling the fazer .......................woke up at 9 .45 .......will try again tonight
straight out to the garage tonight,no slouching on the sofa ....fitted the k+n air filter an excellent fit,very snug around the top rim the old filter had a good 6mm gap and relied on the top cover to hold it in place (its a pattern filter about £23 i think) took no4 plug out and fitted the colour tune.....start the old girl up and i can see straight away shes running weak [size=78%],blue flame , what i was expecting,mixture is set to 2.5 turns so turn the mixture screw anti-clockwise (out) until i get blue/yellow flame,edging towards yellow as the fazer is designed to run rich[/size] ........before i started adjusting the mixture they were set at 4 turns out and had been like that for 30,000 miles with no problems.......now with the colour tune and k+n filter.....................5 turns out need to set the other cylinders now and then test ride...work permitting
Everybody is probably thinking it, but carbs (and engines in general) are still not fully sussed in my mind. So; the mixture screws increase / decrease the amount of fuel that is being drawn by the carbs (or something to that effect) so wouldn't increasing the jet sizes have the same result as turning the mixture screws out? Of course you are still running a standard can and it shouldn't be necessary but...My other random thought is, what if fuel pressure is low? Could a half faulty pump or filter be restricting the fuel flow and preventing enough from getting through? It's a bit of a twist on the same theme that has been followed with fuel starvation...So much has been discussed but its like 20 pages back and I don't want to go re-read this entire thread - it would take all night :P

dont you think it may be better running it up to temp b4 u set mixture?...i would have thought that just might make a diff?
Just acquired a fzs 600 1999. It seems to run fine sometimes and other times it feels like its running out of fuel and hesitates about 5000 rpm usually when gassing it to overtake . I find if i hold the throttle open it hesitates then clears. It has a micron race can and standard air filter. Any help appreciated
com on then red?...put us out our misery !!!!! ......did it work or do i owe ATB a blow job????????
