Either too rich or gasoline has gone to gel and plugged up the jets in the carburetor or in some cases too lean. Motorcycle carburetors have two kinds of jets which are simple brass plugs with a metered hole in them to allow for fuel flow. You can remove the carburetors and remove the jets(one main jet and one pilot jet) and clean them. Take care not to gouge the soft brass and use a small piece of copper wire to poke out the gelled gasoline using carburetor cleaner or B-12 Chem Tool.
The ZD30 engine has suffered a poor reputation for premature failures including melting/cracking pistons and overboosting, largely due to some common issues. These engines run a variable vain turbocharger with boost controlled by the ECU, and to meet stringent european emission standards run an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. Running fairly high boost levels from factory causes the ZD30 to be a heavy breathing engine and oil vapour is forced into the inlet tract contaminating the Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF), working its way through the intercooler and into the inlet manifold. The EGR system can turn this oil vapour into a thick tar like consistency, blocking inlet runners, which in turn can lead to some cylinders running rich and some lean, resulting in melted pistons...

One of the most used yet most overlooked parts of the vehicle is the windshield wiper which is also known as the windscreen wiper. Most owners of vehicles only notice that this part is there once the rain or the snow starts to pour. What this part does is it wipes away rain, dirt, or snow from the vehicle's windshield.

You may have a problem with the freeze plug on the lower part of your engine block. If it is leaking, a big piece of card board placed under your car beneath the engine will show spots from engine coolant. If all of the coolant seems to hit the same spot, take your car to a mechanic and have it checked with the car up on a rack. This is the best way to access the freeze plug and replace it.
