I have a 1986 Kawasaki zl600.  It dies on the road on me the other day.  Now I'm trying to get it to idle in the garage.  It started up but when I tilt the bike to the left it dies out?  I'm not sure why.  Also there's dual exhaust and when I rev it only the left pipe blows out smoke.  Like burning oil I guess.  Anybody know why or any suggestions?

Thanks for any responses.

How long has the bike been setting? Carbs may need cleaned (very thoughly) and fresh spark plugs. start with that ang see if it runs better. :thumbsup:
