it was bouncing around in that range but that was with the bike barely idling. does anyone know why this thing won't start?
work ive done to this point, new intake manifolds, new rubber deals to the air box, new stator, messed with air screws, idle screw, new plug wires, plugs, new starter brushes etc. 1993 kz1000 p-12
1)vacuum. if needle ticked in opposite direction on that one carb, you most likely have a leaky valve. if it just ticked more in the same direction, I'd worry about the other problems. You might want to check compression as a general check on state of things.
2)not starting. as in 'this is a new problem' or as in 'it's just as hard to start as it was when I got it idling'?
3)Is it a 93 police bike? has it ever run right since you got it?
where are you and the bike?
i have a 87 police model purchased in non-running condition
just got around to cleaning carbs and may see what she does later today
