My 97 zx-6r(F) which is carbed starts and warms up fine. Once its warm is start pouring out smoke and then will shut off and refuse the start up again (runs for a second and then shuts off). I just had the carb cleaned and tuned about 2 weeks before this started happening.

Any ideas what is going on? I'm clueless.

Thanks - justin

 

Did your mechanic use seafoam?

 

Sounds like it's far too rich. Either the choke isn't coming off, or the float heights wrong - easy to foul up if the carb's stripped. If it ran for a couple of weeks OK, then also suspect the float needle valve sticking and allowing the carb to flood.

Anything else is likely to be expensive.

what color smoke is it? black or blue?
