Bike idles but nothing more
OK, I have a 1980 KZ1300 Kawasaki ... We can get the bike to idle perfect, (on choke)but if we try to shut the choke off, or try to give it any gas at all, it shuts off .... we seen thatthe gas linehad a piece of copper tubing connecting them ... A bike shop told us that the fuel pump was bypassed and the bike will not run without the fuel pump connected ... welllllllllllll It ran perfect for the last 10 years like that (it was like that when I bought it)... But I am not sure it is a fuel pump at all ...I am going to start another thread with that as the title incase someone knows exactly what it is for if no one lookingin here is sure, becouse it does not work like a fuel pump at all ... but if anyone has an idea why it will idle but nothing more, please let me know ... all six cylinders are running good and all the pipes get hot, so evidently everything seems to be in order

RE: Bike idles but nothing more
OK, I am thinking that taking the carbs apart and cleaning them is going to have to be done.... I just thought maybe someone else had the problem and maybe a simpler solution we could try... I didn't think so really, but it doesn't hurt to ask anyhow... Thanks for the help
