Starts on the choke..
Discussion
Hi All.
Had my 95 Fireblade in storage for a while and just got round to dragging it out ready to use.
Unfortunately, despite being put away fully working, it doesn't want to start now. Will turn over, fire up and idle on full choke but if you offer it the slightest bit of throttle it immediately stalls
If you close the choke it will eventually die.
Cleaned the plugs and they look ok, checked for anything obvious but found nothing..
Before I strip the carb looking for muck, has anyone got any other ideas?
Many thanks

I saw this years ago on a Kawasaki, identical problem. Really smooth idle but the slightest throttle and the engine just stopped. Bizarrely it was the battery! I think the owner had started it off jump leads, though. I can't remember if he bought a new battery or charged the old one.
