    Sure, get the bike running and pull the fuel hose off the petcock. If gas comes out, its working. Will it rev on choke? You really need to go get some clear plastic hose, hook it to the bowl drains and bend it up against the carb, that will act as a sight glass for your bowl levels. If you think it might be the petcock, put it on prime, that lets fuel flow whether the motor is running or not. Its also quite possible that you just need a carb clean. Where in Ohio are you?

    The carbs are clean as they can be. Jets are clear, etc. I am in Hilliard, nw suburb of Columbus. Sucks because Hoblick was about a mile from me b4 he moved... lol

    I will try it on prime. Thanks again for all the help!

    Thanks everyone for chiming in. After some research there are no o-rings for the diaphragm covers. I am leaning more towards fuel flow. Like i said, when the bike is cold (carb bowls full) it revs just fine. I believe after it burns through what is in the bowl, it does not replenish fast enough. All fuel lines are clean. Is there a way to test the petcock other than replacing it? 

    Thanks again!!

    Check fuel lines, also-and this is critical- there's a little o-ring there when you take off the diaphragm cover. Its very small and easy to lose but extremely vital to the diaphragms working properly. Is the bike set up stock? Has someone given it the bro treatment (piped, jetted and pod filtered it)? Vacuum pet cock functioning correctly (if applicable)? Is the TPS hooked back up on the #4 carb? (if applicable)

    Yes, it is piped & jetted. vacuum on petcock is working. Diaphragm in petcock it tact as well. I did not notice an o-ring tho..... Got anymore details on that?

    Thanks a mil!!!!

    Help me OR!

    Heres what i got; 

    99 Suzuki GSF600 Bandit with 15k. It would idle ok, but when you hit the throttle, it dies out.. 

    I pulled the carbs & found that 2 of the diaphragms were torn. Went ahead & replace all 4 to be safe. Carbs back on & still the same issue... 

    Any help would be much appreciated! 

    Cheers!

    Very busy these days & no time to teach myself on this one. Got a 77 CB750 F that needs some carb adjustment & possibly a jet kit. It runs pretty good, having issues with backfiring. We eliminated the airbox & went with K&N pods. Also upgraded to a 4 to 1 exhaust with open pipe, no baffles.

    Based on this i am sure we need to re-jet. Carbs were recently rebuilt; floats, float needles, o-rings, gaskets, etc.

    Like i said, short on time and hate working on carbs!

    I am in Hilliard, (columbus) and have a good space to work in. PM me if you want the job. Looking to get it done asap.

    Thanks!

    Welcome to OR. check out craigslist. Do some homework before your purchase. I would suggest a ninja 650 as a good starter. Just enough umph to get you into trouble but forgiving enough to let you get away with a few mistakes plus insurance is cheap.

    And if this is your first ride, don't make the same mistake i made and buy new

    Ninja 650 is perfect. Reliable, reasonably priced, cheap ins, and plenty of balls to get the adrenaline flowing. I started with a ninja 250 back in the day & was ready to upgrade in 3 months.

    Welcome aboard & good luck with the purchase.
