#1 Unread post by slevins20 »

99 cbr600 carb'd.

cranks but wont turn over. occasional spitting popping and backfiring, but wont seem to turn over. just replaced the fuel line. fuel is clean.
im thinking that its not getting fuel...

fuel filter clogged?
dirty carb?
clogged injectors or w/e is on a carb'd motor?

i dont think its the plugs, but im not 100% sure. i havnt taken them out to look if they're making a spark or not. im actually going to buy the bike of my friends uncle and hes doing all the work on it.
