I just bought a KZ440 that has been sitting for 10 years and only has less than 3K miles on it .
I cleaned the carb´s , charged the battery and it fired right up BUT the idle races up and down . It also doesn´t have any power past the idle .
When I took out the air adjustment screws they 4 full turns out so I replaced them at the same adjustments . That seems to be pretty far to me compared to other bikes I have had that are just 1 1/2 turns out .
I don´t have a manual yet . Any advise ?
Thanks , Steve
