Fazer not running properly after cam chain change

[HazzaBui]

Hi Guys, another question from me I'm afraid :/


So I got my old cam chain swapped out for a new split link one, and everything back together, and the bike runs!
Problem is, it doesn't run very well    It just doesn't accelerate properly, and barely pulls at all in anything other than 1st-3rd.


Obviously to get the new chain in, I had the carbs off to get the tensioner out, so I'm wondering if maybe I've done something wrong when I've re attached the carbs?  All the cylinders seem to be firing, the sparks are pretty much new and the leads are fine.


Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to check next, what might be a likely cause or just general comments? Or am I better at this stage to just take the thing down the local garage and have a professional look at it?


Thanks for any info people can throw my way!

Did you double check the timing marks?

Does indeed sound like your timing is off.

Yeah, the timing all looked fine when I closed the engine up (I have timed the engine once before, so know how it should line up).  I will double check it tomorrow however, to be extra sure!


So, assuming I open up and that's all ok, what would be the next thing people would suggest checking?


Cheers

my moneys on the timing aswell  ......but if after checking its ok have a look at the carb rubbers on the air filter side,they can fold over when pushing the carbs on and its hard to see if they are fitted correctly
