Is anyone on this board good with working on old bikes? im talking 90, carbs and crap.
I have a 1990 katana 600. I rode it for about 3 months... since i got my motorcycle license. And suddenly one day she is not running right. She is only running on two cylinders. Or at least that is what it seems. Sounds like a dirt bike, and blows alot of white smoke out the exhaust. She wont idle, but once i put the seat on and ran her down the road once u get passed 6 grand she would fly.. but it was a pain in the ass getting there. I replaced all the spark plugs, got a tip that it could be the coils, so i got two new coils and still not working. I had the carbs off and cleaned them and still nothing. I have no idea what the problem is.
ANY IDEA on what to do next is greatly apprecciated.
