Kawasaki ZZR400 1990 Fuel Problem

[leepick]

just purchased a kawasaki zzr400 as a project, it seems to be starved of fuel (no fuel being sucked into the carbs)

i was wondering if these bikes use a fuel pump? as there isnt one present.

any help would be appreciated

its a early 90's bike, old pre efi, no need for a pump, gravity fed.

Open the fuel cap and set fuel tap on PRI position, if nothing then it could be floating valve or worse.

I used to have quite similar problem on my GPz550, the problem was fuel cap, there's a tank breather and my was full of dirt.

Such an angry young person.

Is there not a prime setting on the tap?

The ZZR400 does in fact have (or should have) a fuel pump.
Are you absolutely certain that it is missing?
You should be able to get a replacement for about 25 squids!

Roughly 4 seconds of googling suggests that not only does the zzr400 have a fuel pump, but also that you are a fucking sausage
