Some of you may be aware of the fact I actually have two bikes, the other bike is currently sat on me patio and wont start, from what I have been told or kinda worked out for meself its that the carbs that are fouled, Im no mechanic, especially with things like carbs, So, would anyone fancy having a look for me and see what you think ? I will pay you petrol money plus I will pay you for your time and will feed you till your sick with the finest choice of foods available to man plus Ill probably slip a few cans your way as well. Just wanna get this off me patio now cos at heart its a nice little bike, btw its a kwak zzr 600 which would make an ideal cheap winter hack for someone.
Cheers

Well bike ran sweet as a nut till its mot them gave up ghost, would only start from cold not when warmed up, so making fuelling her a bit arkward, now wont start at all, although she will turn over till the battery goes flat, thought it might be electrics at first but since advised it could be fouled carbs/jets, Im no mechanic, and Id rather do heart surgery than tackle the carbs, I know Im a wuss

That sounds like sticking floats.The carbs overfill with fuel and flood the engine,a bit like a ballcock system.Could also be rust and crud from in the tank getting into the carbs,which is far from unknown on older kwaks.Either way you need to strip the carbs.
