zx6rrob Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Ayup, one of the lads at work has bought himself a ZZR 250 as his first bike. Basically its a heap. Choke works like a switch, either 5 grand or it cuts out. Once its warm, it doesn`t like to idle, raise the revs and it takes an age to return to idle,before it dies. Raising the revs from idle takes fooking ages too. Once its up to 3-4 k its spins up ok, but from idle its fucking pathetic. Trying to get a bit of a head start as I`ll be looking at it on my dinner,half hour max. Its been standing for a while, reckon the CV carbs are sticking? Whip the tops off and check everythings nice and free? I really can`t be arsed with this, valuble eating time will be lost..... Cheers, Rob.

fran9r Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 The carbs need cleaning/inspecting, and I'd expect an air leak somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weety Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Drain the carbs and go at them with a can of carb cleaner (only open up handy parts). Then tell hime to go out and rag the tits off it and get a couple of tanks of fresh fuel though the carbs. Doubt it will work completely but it'll keep him happy for a while, unless you fancy stripping and rebuilding the carbs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlymo Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Choke behaviour is par for the course for a 90's Kwacker.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Sticky CV's, air leak or simply blocked idle jets. Either way, pull the carbs off, clean them out, stick 'em back on. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
