Katana 1100 alive!

The last two days a played around with my Suzuki Katana 1100. It was retired now for five years and it wasnt easy to bring it back to live. Complete service done with oil, filter, sparks, brakes bleeded, etc. New battery installed, fired it up, did run immediately, also the carbs overflowed immediately. Complete fuel mess....f..*
Ok disassemled the carbs, cleaned them up, blew air and solvent through all the jets, emulsion tubes, idle circuits, blah, blah,....
Runs perfect now on idle and lower rpms, leanout condition above 5500rpms and 240 degreeF too low EGT on cylinder #1 .

OK next week, next try.....
