Rough running Z1 900
Hi, my Z1 is running really rough. Just had the petrol tank lined, carbs cleaned and new plugs fitted. On starting it pops and farts running on 3 and occasionally 4. Where would be a good place to start. TIA.

Re: Rough running Z1 900
If its running at all the tank/tap must be supplying fuel so carbs, either bad clean job or need setting up properly.
Float height, bench sync, vac sync, mixture.

Ok, thank you for your reply. I will try and get the carbs set up and balanced.

If your in Bexleyheath, I'm just by Bluewater. Don't profess to be an expert but built and re commissioned plenty of Z"s
I agree Dave Ennis is a good commercial bet.

Not a problem Ray, no one on here likes to hear of a poorly Z and not try to help.
