I have a 1997 Suzuki Katana 600 and I left mine in the garage for 3 yrs with over a 1\2 tank of gas and yeah, my dumb self is now out in the garage cleaning my rusted tank and freeing up the throttle and having to take the carbs off and doing some spring cleaning. Dam it ticks me off that I'd neglect my baby like that. DAM!.......dam, dam!
Turns out it was a combination of that and the pilot jets circuits had re-clogged on me which caused it to not idle properly. I had it at the shop and they said the pilots needed to be cleaned so I had them do it and it fixed the issue. But i do wanna say that the issue that I fixed on it in this current video was very much a real issue it was having.
Thanks might check back over mine. I have a 01 750 and it ran perfectly fine until I decided to clean the jets and bowls out. I put it back together and immediately had issues with either a high idle, refusing to idle, or once warmed up it wouldn’t idle after cut off.. I went through everything again, re synced the carbs, checked the jets, adjusted idle screw, re placed the needles ect and the problems still there.. i know its a air issue since i have to over adjust the idle screw crazy high, lower the floats, or cover the air box to keep it running. Problem is once I get it running decent again the next day i have to redo everything again cause it resets to how it was
Yeah turns out I had two issues going on this one that I talked about in the video and the other was the pilot jet idle circuit was clogged up even though I had cleaned it with a carburetor dip and scrubbed it. It still was clogged and the only way I found out was when I brought it to the shop to get some work done that I couldn’t do, cause I didn’t have the tools to do so. They told me that my pilot jet was clogged and that they couldn’t get it to idle properly, so I told them that they could clean it up and it completely fixed the idle issue and they were able to properly synchronize the carburetors.

Bro is a god send from heaven my exact two problems and for some reason my drain tube is leaking out a bunch of gas
Is it your drain tube on your air box or the drain bolts on the bottom of the carb
Drain tube on the air box
Lost almost my whole tank ever since I filled it up
Slowly drips
Petcock is also off
I love you
