i can't remember if i asked or if it was already posted somewhere... i have 2002 carbs so i don't know what the stock jets are for that. and also what would anyone recomend to start out with for jets?
right now i just open the throttle up and it dies and backfires right away... but i may have some crud up in the mufflers somewhere unfortuanitly???

nope, I'll bet that your carbs aren't sync'd
does it idle OK?
will it climb if left alone?
does it die every time you hit the throttle?
even if you just touch it, just a little?
or will it climb a little then die? alot then die?

well i think there's crud in the exhaust because there is smoke coming out from a hole in the front left exhaust sopmewhere. also the carbs came off a running bike and i havent adjusted anything yet. i think the jets may need to be smaller since this was for a 1200 and mine is 1100 also i was not sure what to do with the two hoses that come off the top of the carbs, i need to find the zrx keihn breakdown so i can see where the hoses go. it has some little tips on the back of the carbs above each opening 1 was capped off and the other 3 were not. so i capped them. which hoses are supposed to make the slides go up when you open the throttle or do they do that on there own?
