This is making me crazy.. I have a 1998 Kawasaki 900 STX that I have done the following to.
1.) New SBT Engine
2.) Pulled fuel tank, cleaned all lines, petcock, etc.
3.) Replaced impeller, jet pump bearing seals, etc.
4.) Rebuilt carbs.
5.) New battery
It runs like crap. Only stays running when you hold the throttle at about 2000 rpm. Will idle for awhile then shuts off. Biggest problem is that it will not spool all the way up, or even close to full throttle for that matter. Just bogs down as if it is getting too much fuel.
The original engine had 2 pulse lines and the one SBT sent out only had 1. Tech support said to just put a "T" from the single to supply the dual carb pulse inputs. Is this really the way it needs to be done??
I believe the carbs that were on it when I started may have come from a 1100, so with that in mind I bought a set that I knew were from a 900 stx off of ebay hoping that would cure the problem. Well, as you could guess, it did not.
I am really getting to the point that it would be more satisfying to just blow the SOB up and roast a marshmellow from its flaming carcuss.
What errors could I have made considering that there is not one hose that was not removed that would cause this problem. Give them all to me and I will eliminate each one.
Thanks
John
