Well that trackday went well but i had to use a gsxt 750 as the zxr kept cutting out after revving high once engine was revving down it would struggle and die as if running out of fuel? Tap was set to on. Carbs were cleaned whilst we were there. All hoses connected correctly anyone got any ideas? P.s are the takes gravity fed or vacuum? Cheers.

Float bowl height - check

Tap is gravity feed to fuel pump but on initial start up it is force fed then reverts to gravity again (fuel pump relay) once in reserve the fuel pump kicks in full time again. Putting the tap on reserve does not make it work full time -it is pressure sensitive.

Will do mori man! Going to service the carbs and then hoping that will be the issue! If not need to look further into it will also check the pump and relay. Then not too sure! Will post up if i have any issues. I must admit with the suspension upgrade the brakes were awesome and cornered like a dream stable and like on rails! Cannot wait to get it running right!
