zrx 1200r bogging down after 3k (carbed)

[czgheib954]

A 2001 Kawasaki zrx1200r was sitting for a while will start but won't rev past 3k-4k. When i try to rev it past 3k or above, it boggs down and wants to die.

Sounds like the mains are clogged.

So it starts right up easily?
It just won't rev higher than 3 - 4K? Right away or when fully warm?
If no trouble starting the bike, and idling, I doubt your mains plugged up before your pilots. Who knows? it's possible, but seems unlikely. How long did it sit for? Additives like Stabil in the fuel?
Don't rule out a bad spark plug wire or connections. How many miles? Ever changed out the spark plug wires?

Sounds like skanked mains. Check the entire fuel system, starting at the tank. Also- the rubber pieces inside the petcock can degrade and cause problems after sitting a while.

Yah, the pilots will plug first and I suspect they ( or 1-2 of them) are gunked up.
