97 GSX Low Idol, no trim

[pthompson7]

Hey gang. When I start the engine I have to keep giving the throttle some gas in order to keep it running, otherwise is dies out on me. Do you think that this is related to a fuel filter issue? I have noticed on other posts that everyone has mentioned that they are changing the gray fuel lines. I am pretty sure that we havent changed the fuel lines over just yet to automotive lines. Would a disentigrating fuel line gum up my filter that bad to cause this.

Also, my trim motor is not working. I pulled the motor out and tested it and it was bad. I bought a new motor on e-bay and it tests good, but still doesn't work I checked the fuses, and they seem fine. Any ideas for this as well?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.:cheers:

the trim motor housing has a control box built into it. that is probably the problem. you can manually crank the trim to a better position, then reinstall the motor to get by for now.

YES! Plan on changing the fuel line AND THEN rebuild the carbs or at least clean out their internal filters.
