    so new fuel filter didnt make a difference so far.
    had my check ride for my license and it acted up all day, started off with not wanting to start again, then once it fired up heard a clicking noise and found cylinder 2 spark plug lead sparking on the head. had abit of coolant on it.
    then rear brake light deciding not to work.
    fixed those but still seems to have a high idle issue after running awhile.
    the slow walking pace test it was not happy just kept shutting off, had to use another bike and passed it fine.

    Local track was having a practice day at a go kart track so had a go at that, first time on a track with a road bike.
    ran pretty good for a little while but started to break up abit and not have a lot of power at low revs out of corners which is a new thing. it would be intermittent but eventually just gave up and went home.

    so have to pull it apart again. seems like it must still have an air leak from high idle, not sure what else could be going on with the powerloss and stuttering
    seems to be leaking abit of coolant out something near the filler neck so think the radiator cap might be abit faulty, looks to be the original one.

    cant see much for coil leads any off another bike that will fit?

    Just put in the throttle slide kit from litetek as i missed that when i ordered the rebuild kit they sell.
    Also straightened out the 2 end butterfly valves that were bent.
    But now the bikes seems like the throttle is just stuck on. It will idle at 4-8000rpm and if throttle is touched at all itll go up more.
    Cable and linkage returns fine but feels a little stiff as it always has.

    Kinda at a loss cant see how or whats going on now.

    check the position of the idle adjuster, it may need to be turned town to reduce idle speed.

    May also need a throttle balance.

    Give the throttle cables more slack so there is 2-3mm of free play

    thats another thing is not even touching the idle adjuster, for it to touch its nearly maxed out.
    it seems to only go back together one way and i have another set of carbies and its in same position.
    also got about 2-3mm of slack in the cable Aswell. the linkage part the cable connect too moves freely.

    Are there any air gaps around the throttle butterflies? Shine a light underneath them and look on top. Compare the undamaged ones to the ones you straightened.

    Another possibility is an air leak - check the carby to cylinder head boots.

    Furthering what Linkin's suggested .. those boots for sure, and also the airbox->carb rubbers . if they feel stiff, replace em, I got em off impex for a pretty penny but genuine yamaha, and the carb->head manifolds off ebay (your only option but cheap as chips) they get very hard after a few years. should be standard advice for refreshing FZR's but i didn't find out about it until halfway through the resto process :oops:
