Default more Z400 probs

curious as to how it makes hte engine run very rich when all the prime does is sent fuel straight to the carb?

the carb and jetting are still regulating how much fuel is being fed to the engine....its just coming out of the gas tank directly.....just the same as if i had a manual petcock on the bike wth on, off, reserve


my buddy did check the idle screw and he said it seemed good to him, he works on bikes alot so i think he would have a pretty good idea


keep the ideas coming

Check the spark plug because where it is located it gets wet and will not work as good.
