The FZS was running on 2 cylinders (#2&3). Ignition coils seemed OK so I pulled the carbs out and found loads of crap in the bowls and slightly blocked jets.. Carnbs back in.
Still running on same 2 cylinders so pulled the carbs again and cleaned the fuel gallery out. A bit of crap blocking the rail.. Carbs back in.
Now running on 3 1/2 with fuel overflowing from #3. Carbs out again. Float valves cleaned and resealed. Carbs back in.
Now running on 4 but notice a small drip under carb #3. Touch teh pipe with a screwdriver to collect the drip to check if its fuel or coolant and now I have coolant spraying everywhere from a perished carb heater hose. Those feccin carbs are not coming out again in the near future so I will bypass the carb heater circuit for now. I never ride in cold damp conditions normally anyway,
