I got my '88 zx600 running today. small problem though, when the engine is running, it applies vacuum to the petcock, opening it fully. When it's fully open the third carb starts pouring gas all over from somewhere near the front of the carb down low. None of the others do it so Im suspecting a stuck float. Hears my problem, I dont know how to get at the floats. If it were the first or fourth carbs I could get the bowl off with no problem, but since it's in the middle, I cant really get in there and have to pull the carb off. how would I go about this? I stared at this thing of an hour and a half tonight and couldn't get anywhere. I would have assumed I need to pull the airbox first, but it seems the carbs prevent this. All I really managed to do was pull the boots partially off the fronts of the carbs (they weren't really on there all that good anyway) I tried to pull the far right carb (as if you're sitting on the bike) to get at the leaking one, but theres this stupid bar connecting all four carbs and the first screw I tried to loosen wants to strip. GRRRRRRRR any help will be greatly appreciated. On a good note, she fired right up after sitting for two years, I guess theres one positive to look at.

 

Well, I got it to not pour gas, but it is still a constant drip about one per second or so. I tapped on the bowl a whole lot and thats when it slowed down. Now Im thinking that it may be the seal between the bowl and the body, but I still cant check it because I dont know how to get at that carb with everything else in the way.
