Never rains but it pours! LOL Still you had a bloody good go at it! Sad when an engine dies no matter what it is. Give it a decent send-off.

Don't slide unless you mean too.

Be sure, ride safe and enjoy

Does it have a manual choke? It could be putting in the wrong ratio of Fuel to Airand flooding it with fuel, or depriving it of it... but it's the carb that does that isn't it?

Defo a fuel prob by the sound of things. If it were the engine I think it would be more immediate (e,g it dies as soon as it starts, or makes a very nasty grinding noise). spark plugs and cables all working? Alternater..... well.... alternating!?

Yamaha FZS 600 Fazer ... in gold! 

Ride safe, and look out for the Rainbow of Death!

There're only 3 kinds of people in the world, those who can count, and those that can't.

Roses are red, Violets are Blue, I'm a schizophrenic ..... and so am I!

Take pity on the man who invented the drawing board, when he screwed up, he had nothing to fall back on.

Stuff everything, I've always got my bike.
