1997 suzuki rf 900 carb problems
ive got a 1997 suzuki rf900. when the bike ran it would idle low or it would idle high. when i got on the throttle it would bog down. This was about 6 months ago. when i decided that it would probably need some money to get running i drained the full tank and plug the lines going from the fuel tank to the motor, this was the beggining of its six months of none running storage. someone mentioned that the carbs may have needed to be synced, but that doesnt make any sense to me because there preset from the factory and unless you take the bike apart they should be fine. i tried to start it yesterday, i connected the lines and filled it with fresh gas and all it does is crank, its got compression, but it doesnt start. what should i do?

No u don't. If u take them off and don't touch the sync screws, then it stays the same and u don't have to sync it but it doesnt hurt to sync it anyways.Try running some SeaFoam through the system first. It's cheap and easy and may fix your problem. If you fully remove the carbs they will need to be synced again. Do you have a service manual?
Yes u should sync them but taking the carbs off doesnt mess up the sync.And how would you know that they were synced properly to begin with? After a carb clean I would certainly take 20 minutes to properly adjust the carbs.
