1999 Fazer 600. Had the carbs out to clean them, filled it with new coolant, oil and fuel.
When turning the ignition key, there’s a rapid clicking sound that slows and stops after a few seconds. Don’t know what this is. Any thoughts?
When hitting the starter, the engine turns over but is not getting any fuel. sparks are firing ok, have bled one of the carbs and fuel is getting into them ok. only air coming out the exhaust, no fuel smell at all. no fuel smell coming from the pistons with one of the spark plugs taken out.
Immediate thought is the jets are blocked but I blew all of them through so there wasn’t any carb cleaner in it.
everything seemed sound when I took it apart and cleaned it out.
I should mention I’ve put restrictor plates in the intakes (see pics). my friend is convinced this wouldn’t cause the fuel flow to stop altogether though. I wanted unbiased opinion before I mentioned this.
try spray some easy start or something similar in back of carbs she if she fires if so i would say carbs are still blocked if not i would check if there is a good spark if so so i would think about checking compression
WELL, a little progress tonight. she sounded more like she wanted to fire so I put another 5l of petrol in as I thought the 1 in there before might not have been enough.
a minute or so on the starter and full choke and now she’s idling at 500rpm (on the choke) but one of the breather pipes from the carb is dripping fuel which makes me think it’s blocked maybe?
soon as I put a little pressure on the throttle she cuts out.
hope I can get them back out without taking the whole carb out again
