zx6r running like shit
 

ok i droped my bike from 12 about a week ago, picked it up nothing wrong with it, After about 10 minutes of riding it sounded like its skipping. so i went home cleaned the carbs, put in new plugs and new fuel and its still doing it. The bike has plenty if power and idles fine but it sounds stupid as fuck. Any help on what this could be???

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

well sir i happen to own that same bike and do alot of work to it, does it sputter all the time? or only when you rev it up? and does it to it while moving? or when its sitting still? or both?

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

kinda always but the idle pulls smooth and it pulls fine all threw out the rpm's. its more anoying than anything

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

when you cleaned the carbs, did you clean the screen on the fuel inlet? and i also had a very similar problem that would run funny pull ok but intermitanly fuck up and it wound up being the pilot screws backed themselve the hell out and fucked my idle alllll up.

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

yup sounds exactly like mine did, pop the carbs off it, and the hose the feeds the fuel to the carbs, the fitting that hose goes on at the carbs has this little fuckin screen inside it you can pull out with pliers and clean, and then with them ALL the way out , if you turn them around so you looking and the side of the carbs facing the motor, you will see a little hole on each carb with a little brass pin should be close to flush with the hole , if ANY are not the same then they moved and you need to put them back to their proper setting which is the fun part, drilling out the plugs lol. hers some pics to help you. BE SURE TO LOCKTIGHT THEN SILICONE THE PLUG HOLES YOU DRILL OUT SO THE PILOT SCREWS DONT MOVE.

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

damn that looks really dirty in a picture. but its just the bottoms this insides have been cleaned:LOL

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

yea you got it right, drill those little brass plugs out, use a bit just a bit smaller then the plug and go untill its comes out or you got all the way through the plug, once its out you will see the screw and its flat head to adjust, make sure you adjust them all the same, toss it together and see how it runs. did you check that filter?

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

yup it was clean as hell, ill go drill those and get back to you in a bit. btw i really apprieciate all this helps, so thanks a bunch:yeah

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

haha noooo problem i spent ALOT of time trying to figure out wtf was going on with mine, linked it to constantly plugging that screen so i added two inline filters in the fuel line, and found one cyl just like yours where i pilot screw walked itself in and blocked proper fuel flow even tho the pilot is mostly for idle, i could only notice it while reving the bike, not to mention once i fixed it, HUGE gain in idle pull and overall power, dude ive modified mine so heavily you wouldlnt even know thats what it is.

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

well i dont have the right tools here so ill have to do it tomorrow :banghead

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

aight man well good luck with it ill shoot you a pm

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

Did he tell you how this happened? He had this clam parked on the bar and it fell over on the left side. Probably knocked some shit loose in the bowls. I'm guessing that there is shit stuck in the low speed/pilot jet. It was running fine before that point.

Jeff we'll dig into it tomorrow. I have everything you need here at the shop to drill it out if needed.

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

ha ha asshole i already cleaned everything

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

Yeah, like you cleaned the outside of the bowl off......:LOL

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

well yeah:LOL, ill show you in a few hours:cheers

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

fuel injection.....woop woop!

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

He's too broke to have a real bike. :broke Maybe next year.....

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

Still running like shit, did the pilot jets, found some crap in the main jet of the #1 carb, ran fine for a few till it warmed up and it had a habit of flooding.....

Wonder if he screwed up the float level when it fell ff the 12 bar.

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

ill rip into it tomorrow and see what i find:yeah

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

Check the float level and if you want to come down early next week, I'll rig up a mercury switch and relay for your fuel pump.

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

ill let you know :banghead

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

ok on the intake side the is a small air jet that spitting fuel????? :banghead can figure it out

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

you have to be more specific, pics?

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

ha ha, hoping you'ld get on. Hang on a sec

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

the one circled in red

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

take the bowl off remove the float make sure the neddle is properly set(hooked around the float arm, it's a tiny wire loop) reassamble. i knock mine off/out of place shakin it, and it would squirt gas out the top.

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

checked that ten time its all good:banghead i think i need to get insurence then burn it to the ground

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

maybe you will see something i dont:shruggs

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

that main jet looks mangled up to me. it should be fine since its 4 stroke but i know on my two stroke a jet was messed up like that once and reall fd it up and wouldnt run smooth at all. my 2cts on that last picture from just looking. good luck

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

i did that after the fact but went threw and cleaned everything for the 4th time and set the float hights seems to be running right but i cant let it run for to long cuz its almost 11 at night:banghead

Re: zx6r running like shit
 

Ok, did you set the float level like I did with the #1 cylinder at the shop? I think when you dropped the thing, you might have bent the metal tab that controls the float level. If the tab is bent, no matter how well the needle sets. It's of no use if it's not being allowed to fully close due to improper adjustment.
