Default zn 700 carb rebuild

installed rebuild kits into carbs. The carbs were pretty crappy with jets clogged etc. Installed back onto bike and started. Got it to fire up and settle into a reasonable idle. Warmed up with choke off and hit the throttle. Basically wants to die. I can catch it by turning on choke with no throttle and then open the choke and again settles into a decent idle. If you give it throttle it wants to die.

I do not have air cleaner boots on and have the air screws set to 1.5 turns out. Any ideas?

Welcome to KF

Take the idles up to maybe 2 turns, but it almost sounds like you may still have gunk in the carbs and/or the sych is off. good luck

Thumbs down zn 700 carb rebuild

Dragone #19, I'm leaning toward pulling them off again and see if there is any crap in the carbs. Seemed when I dropped in the needle valves they didn't go in very easily. Would'nt the the other jets take over after I turn the throttle more than a 1/4 turn? It's almost like the gas is turned off when I give it some throttle. I did unclog the jets, maybe I still have a clog somewhere else
