893 Fireblade - Carb/head fuel flooding
Hi,
I am tryingto re-start my 893 fireblade engine (idle for 2 years) as the projecrt is now nearly complete. However the pump did not cut off and upon
cranking the engine without the plugs I got soaked in fuel. I removed the carbs and cleaned the fuel bowls and float valves, re-fit again but the pump
still did not cut off. This time upon turning the negine only No2 cylnder spurted fuel out. I am going to replace the float valves with new ones as I
am suspecting that the taper end is not selaing off.
Is there anything else I should check before I re-moun t everything back?

Is it the float bowl NEEDLES that you intend to replace?
If so, then get some acetone and a brush that 100% won't drop and bristles and give the area that seats the needles a really good going over.
Any orange tinge needs to be removed entirely...
