Just got this bike 1999 VT 600 and have been trying to get it running so far I have removed the carbs and cleaned them ( they were pretty corroded in the brass parts ) after attempting to start the AUto fuel petcock began leaking gas all over the bike so I deleted it and ran a line and filter direct to the carb , and plugged the vacuum line hole in the rear cylinder with a M5 screw 6mm long with a copper crush washer , it starts under full choke and idles I'm not sure but this seems like dangerously low idle to me ? It also dies as soon as you touch the throttle ? Idle screw set to 2.5 turns out further turns do nothing to increase idle speed please help !
