Ok so I ride a 2001 r* 1600. Was out of commission for a while. When I finally got it back to running condition(So I thought) it had carb issues. I have pulled, cleaned, and replaced the carb. Now when it starts it idles very rough for a clue of seconds the back fires and dies. Any help on what to check next would be great.

Pull the choke out all the way,start the bike, after about 15-20 seconds the bike will start to run rough. When it does push the choke in about 1/4 of the way until the bike smooths out. Ride with the choke out at that spot for a mile or 2 before pushing it in all the way. If that don't work you have an air leak on the carb/intake or a pc of junk still blocking the idle/pilot circuit somewhere .

Look in the carb right after start and see if you are seeing fuel bubbling up from the bottom of the floor of the tunnel. You may have a stuck open or misaligned needle / float situation. You could have also created an air leek at the manifold whjile you were working on itGerry

The manifold has a rubber coating (i think for heat isolation.) It's not uncommon for the rubber coating to have cracks all over it, but it is not (Usually) an air leak. Air leaks are usually at the vacuum nipple (or attached vacuum lines) or the flanges at the cylinder heads.Gerry
