tiger fuel problem

[catswiskas]

just after a little advice got my tiger back together after fitting new spragg clutch (bought this bike as a non runner) but is not running right. will only run up to about 2500 rpm then cuts out ,ive done away with tap fuel filter also tried leaving cap open but it will run some were near if you put youre hand over airbox intake.so i think its still fuel shortage i blew jets through before reassembly but did not remove do you think its a blockage maybe floats many thanks  ps its a great forum.

There is a filter "in the line" to the carbs, try that first coz it's a bugger. If that doesn't sort it search on cleaning jets are they are the next likely suspect, there's plenty of info on hear on setting up Steamer carbs.
