Hi need help with 1200 Bandit


Recommended Posts

Sounds like fuel, 

Take the carbs off, put them upright on a bench and get a fuel container, hang this up above the carbs (always best to have a no/tape on the fuel line for this container) turn the fuel on and wait, see if any fuel is coming out of the carbs. If so the float valves or seals are not working or you have the float height set wrong. 

You can buy the fuel bottle as they help when balancing your carbs.

Update (problem seems to be fixed)

did a bench test on the carbs and I had a leak on 3. Fuel was leaking out of the air jet and also the needle jet. So I took a look at the floats and they were jamming up. I was able to bend the tangs in a way to free them up but keep my float height and it seems to run good again.
