Just got a new to me ZZR600 and I've hit a road block. The bike won't turn over unless the choke is on, idles rough and dies if I bring it down.
I know idle is usually a carb issue, though I'm hoping and praying it could be something else. When taking the air box off the carbs and slides *seem* to be pristine. I bought the bike off a family friend, it belonged to their father and he passed, but put it away before so. The tank was emptied when I got it, and it great condition, same with the carbs (from what I can see), and the air filter.
Is there anything else I'm forgetting to look at, or do I just need to get in there and check the jets?
I'm also getting smoke coming from the front end of the bike. I changed the oil and was a little messy, but I'm worried it's something else. I'm totally new to bikes with radiators and I fear it could be that.
Here's a link of my bike idling in case anyone can see / hear what may be the issues. Thanks in advance for any help!
