Posted August 18, 200816 yr Thundercat starts on choke but will not run on throttle, starts ok on choke, but when you turn the throttle it cuts out, seems like its starved of fuel, any ideas ??????????????
August 18, 200816 yr Well you need to clean out all of your fuel system, including the carbs, as you must have blocked jets.

August 19, 200816 yr Author Is this the full story, one day all was well and then this the next day,? No it had been sat for five weeks while i was away working, its never done this before ???
August 19, 200816 yr Moderator Every year i put my Bandit away for winter and every spring its like this, will only run and idle with a little choke, blip the throttle and it dies. All i do is warm it up properly then its 'Right as Ninepence' could this be the same? Might be wise to check your plug gaps as well, It they're too big it wont help.
August 20, 200816 yr yeah, just happened with my FZ; before the carbs started leaking... i just let it idle for like five minutes and just rolled one finger over the throttle a little bit more and then more and now it revs fine. Probably a plugged jet needed time to be cleared.
