Hello All,

I have recently bought a 1991 Xj600s and rode it 70km home. It was lovely but the next day when riding it gave up on me. It didn't rev when I gave it throttle anymore.
After a few minutes the bike didn't start at all.

- Checked and cleaned the carbs.
- Checked the Battery (It's in good condition)
- Cleaned the gastank which had awful fuel.
- Replaced the fuel filter.

But the bike still wont start for some reason. It only runs for a few seconds if I use starter spray but then it dies on me again.
I believe this may be because it's not getting the fuel into the motor.

Honestly I am completely lost and could use some help.

Thanks! :)
