Clean carbs again and concentrate on the idle/starter jets...the holes through these block very easily and produce the kind of symptoms that you describe

SOURCE: running rough. no gas going to front plug.

If your plug is dry, then there is no fuel. This can happen for two reasons: No compression - be sure to get a compression tester and ensure that there is enough compression produced by the engine to enable the engine to run. More than likely, though, there is no fuel getting to the engine. When cleaning carburetors, it is important that you use a chemical dip. Spraying carb cleaner through it is not enough. Be sure to disassemble completely: fuel float and its needle and seat, all jets, all emulsion tubes, all air cut off systems and accelerator pumps, all enrichment circuits (choke), vaccum slide and diaphragm, all air jets, and last but not least - the idle air/fuel screw. If this is the first time the carb has been taken apart you have to drill the cap to get to the screw. once everything is apart, soak all metal parts in the Berryman or equivalent chemical dip solution for at least several hours. After, run hot water, as hot as you can stand over all dipped components and blow out with compressed air. reassemble and enjoy.

SOURCE: 1995 750 Katana will not stay running

did you try the fuel petcock on the bottom of the tank? If not, pull it out and check the fuel filter on the top of it. If it won't start because of no fuel, that maybe the problem or it could just be a vaccum leak. Check the tubes for leaks or just replace them, they are cheap. If it isn't starting because it floods out from to much fuel, then it might just need a new petcock. How did the diaphrams on the top end of the carb look?

2005 sportster 1200 carburater not getting fuel

1. remove the full line from the carb, turn on the petcock and watch it flow into a container. Make sure that the petcock is in the correct position and that the tank has at least a half tank of gas. If the petcock does not flow gas, the tank/petcock has a fuel flow issue. If the petcock has a smaller rubber line connected (vacuum controlled) to it, it will need vacuum applied to it before it will flow fuel. Vacuum can be applied using a hand held vacuum tool (purchased at a auto store) or light suction from the mouth will do.

2. If the petcock does flow fuel, remove the inlet to the back of the carb and spray a 1-2 second burst of starter fluid into the carb and attempt to start it. If it attempts to start after spraying it with starter fluid, the carb is plugged and needs to be cleaned.

Bought 750 katana as project it did not start but

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

To determine if fuel is entering the combustion chamber, place back the spark plugs without the wires. Start and remove the spark plug again. They would be wet with fuel.

Additionally, loosen the drain screws at the bottom of the carb's bowls. Collect the draining fuel from the drain hose individually. Compare quality and quantity while noting for presence of sand, dirt, rust, water or any other contaminants.

Starter fluid maybe used.

Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

88 Toyota Corolla backfires through carburetor.

If that is carbureted, and has a mechanical fuel pump, try running a length of fuel line from inlet side of pump to a gas can that has fresh, clean fuel, and if it runs good that way, you know problem is most likely in the tank. Removing the tank & cleaning it out is best solution from there. I'd even be tempted to add a small bottle or 2 of Lucas Fuel Sytem Cleaner to first fill in clean tank, just to help clean lines as well as carb.

1992 kawasaki Vulcan 750 stops running

Drain gas into container. Pull off your petcock and clean all the junk out (will look like coffee grounds). Look inside your tank for rust and scale, then clean it out thorougly.A small chain dropped inside works wonders for knocking **** loose inside that you can't see or reach. Check for an inline fuel filter between tank and carbs and replace if you have one. Reassemble and put in fresh Premium gas....Good luck to you friend....Tim

It wont stay running in stalls out from time to time

Change the fuel filter,clean the carb jets again,and replace the air filter.This should take care of it but sometimes when they sit for awhile,you will need to clean the carbs numerous time as the gunk in the tank continues to wash down into the carbs.

Getting a fuel dump

Sounds like you need to clean the carbs out, as they are probably gummed/varnished badly after sitting for 2 years.

1989 tempo 2.3 4 cyl 5 speed, runs w/ starter fluid

Hi, The carb is gummed up from sitting. The best solution is to take it apart and clean it. The starter fluid indicates that it has clogged jets or stuck floats. The good news is that if it cranks with the starter fluid everything else is probably OK. Good Luck!
