bamf Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hello all, Just got this yzf-600 and could use some advise on troubleshooting. It starts and runs as long as I keep the rpm's up. when it warns up I let it idle down and it dies. It won't start until it sits awhile. Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve or check to narrow down the problem? no repair shops close to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted June 11, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2014 Clean fuel, fuel tank, fuel pump and carbs, air filter would be where I would start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamf Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks, I've already started on the carbs and they are full of trash. I'll clean the bowls and jets the fuel pump and tank I've done so I hope this solves the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamf Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yes, the secondary coil wires were crossed and the pilot jets needed a second cleaning. She is slowly coming back to life will keep posting progress and any problems I run into. I appreciate all the advise I received from members and look forward for more.

Moderator DirtyDT Posted June 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2014 You need to make sure that the carbs are really clean and set up correctly. The pilot jet controls the fuel at idle. What condition is the air filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamf Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 She screams like an eagle, a little cosmetic work and a good bath and we'll be hitting the wind. It pays to have a repair manual and good advise. Thanks again, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
