Replaced fuel filter. Noticed when the fuel ran out the old filter it was orange in colour. I think my problem is rust in fuel tank. When i looked in fuel tank it looks spotless, so it must have rust at the bottom
dont think i will have any spare time this weekend to play with the 600 might be monday night now can you wait that long ade

I've just bought the bike, so i don't really know how long its been lying.
Flushed the tank out. The fuel had loads of rusted flakes of metal in it, so i completely drained the tank and carb float bowls. Filled the tank with fresh fuel and went for a spin. To begin with it was pretty spluttery, but i think that was down to the fact carbs were drained and new fuel filter fitted. After about a 1/4 mile the bike ran sweet. Went out again this evening and same again revved out perfectly. I will hold back jumping for joy until i have used it for a few days, but it seems to be running much better
right!!....try weakening it even further to see if it gets worse?...at least then you proving its fuel prob!! set them to 3 and see what happens>> .....
dont blame you!!....dont give up though?....you come too far?? ..you will get it right?.
I balanced the carbs on mine this afternoon. While hooking up the vacuum gauges to the take-off points on the inlet manifolds I found the little rubber caps had perished quite badly:I don't think they'd quite gone all the way through, the one I tried sucking on was OK anyway... I didn't test the others 'cos I didn't like the taste. As a precaution I smeared some silicone sealant into the cracks.With all the dismantling and checking you've been doing I don't suppose that sort of thing would have missed your notice, but thought I'd mention it anyway as a possible cause of a weak mixture.
