I have a 1986 Yamaha FZ600 and the battery would die as I would turn
it over. I put new spark plugs in it and charged the battery and low
and behold it fired up in a split second. It ran great and started
great until the next day. I went to go and start it and as I did it
would start at an idle but whenever I would give it gas it would bog
and die. As long as I left it at an idle it would be fine. I took off
the fuel filter and hooked up the gas line directly and it did the
same thing. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thanks alot.

Hi Greg. I took the carbs off yesterday and put brand new jets in and
I looked inside the carbs and it was spotless. Is there something else
I should have done?
And thanks for the reply. Kelly

What did you fiddle with, between when it ran fine and when it didn't?
Or before it ran fine, come to that?

Oh, geezzzz, you aren't supposed to ask things like that until we have
flailed around for at least a week getting no where !!! ;-)
