Carburettor slider issues, help!
Hi there! I have a 1996 CBR400RRL model.
Help! The sliders on the carburettors are not moving up all the way and start fluttering at a certain point. This happens on all 4 sliders all at the same time at around 7000 rpm or something roughly.
The bike has good compression, fuel and spark so possibly be an issue with air?
Any thoughts on what could be wrong?
I have thought about maybe pulser coils, throttle position sensor and ECU but I am unsure how any of these things could relate to the issue if someone could educate me I would be forever grateful.
Please let me know what you think, and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
