got it! still a noob....be gentle

so noticed that a big pool of gas leaked out overnight........about a gallon! WTF

ok guys.....after 45 days....the culprit was the imulsion tubes were "jacked"...not perfectly round but "egg shaped" which the needles had alot of play which caused flooding....replaced the tubes and she is running TIP TOP!!! oh yeah!!!!

thanks guys.....checking all things....

this was recently acquired bike.....I bought bike knowing about the problem

thought carb had bigger jets but checked and everything is stock.....air filters are clean, fuel pump is good.......

checking electrical now....could be weak spark

got a 89 FZR 600.....bogs and dies and low rpms, seemed like the carb was flooding but rebuilt and cleaned carbs and still same problem

sorry....this question has prob been asked before.....what is the widest tires I can get (front and back) without doing and mods or cutting...I have 89 FZR600
