cracked carb rubbers will make it run lean, not rich

cracked inlet rubbers are a common fault on 600 fazers,they are very thick and its a fair bet that there not cracked all the way through.and as MCYOUNGY has already said will make the bike run lean not rich  Smile

worn emulsion tubes would cause rich running. float level too high.

choke works  as it should

Take the choke plungers out and get a magnifing glass and look at the rubber seal faces for wear or cracks. just because they move don't mean they "ain't" damaged !!!!

Other advice would be. Strip them down clean and rebuild paying close attention to worn moving parts. such as jet needles, sliders and diaphrams. There are a surprising amount of moving parts in there. and always use a magnifying glass. The damage may be hard to see with the naked eye. My son had a small split in one of his slider diaphram and neither of us saw it until i magnified it. caused all sorts of problems. hope this helps.

Get a haynes manual for a start. If the needles on the sliders are worn they will let more petrol through and that may cause the rich mixture.
