Default Need a lil help

Hi guys im new to the forum and i just bought a 93 honda cbr 600 f2 for a real cheap price. Ok now here is my problem,When i try to crank on my bike in choke it will stay on and i let it warm up a lil bit, but the minute i take it off choke it dies or if i try to rev it it dies.I just took off the gas tank and looked at the carbs and thehy looked clean, i change my spark plugs, but maybe my jets are clogged or the bowls of the carbs??? any suggestions?

Yea, in the how to section there is a how to clean the carbs. it appears as though you need to clean your jets. I made a post on the bottom of the first page on how to do that. Clean the idle jet, and the main jet. do not worry about the upper part of the carb if cleaning the jets works.

but before you do that.,..is the fuel switch on?

Yup...clogged jets. as for that right up...make sure you take a wire from a wirebrush and push it through the jet openings.

Loosen the 4 screws on the bottom of the carb boots or whatever the rubber things are called...and pull (very difficult can rock forward first ...
