my 1990 zx11 wont start or idle after a 6month storage,without the choke, even after warm.I have replaced plugs,cleaned filters and carbs,drained and refilled tank.the owners manual mentions air suction valves,are these the reeds in the valve cover?could they cause my problem and what is the service/cleaning procedure them .thanks

i fixed my zx11.it was the pilot jets.i had to remove the aluminum plugs,the pilot screws,and jets to properly cleen them.two of them were plugged.the air suction valves are the reed valves in the valve cover and were not my problem.thanks.

Dirty carbs will do that, If its going to sit for that long I'd make sure and drain all the gas out of the carbs and the gas tank.

I use Seafoam to get bike internals cleaned after a storage period. Just pour it in the gas tank and ride.
