Yeah I know...I'm not tryin' to be an ass...I'm just tryin' to help with an honest evaluation. Besides, what I suggested IS the simple stuff....
Ummm...don't mean to be disagreeable, but I respectfully disagree with Don on a couple points. First off, those carbs are in good shape but I...
Pour slow and carefully...do the best you can. If you spill just rinse it off with a garden hose. Not very often you can do a coolant change and...
Exactly right. I might add I throw on a set of latex gloves, grab an old grease rag, hold it over the chain and turn the wheel by hand to wipe...
With the stock jetting...I've usually found Honda's (in general) to be a bit leanish at low RPM and plenty rich on WOT. All things...
Probe it if you have an ohmeter. The red wires go to the terminals on the relay that have continuity to the fuse. Whatever big cable terminal...
The way you described the symptoms this time makes it sound more like you are just missing a cylinder. I concur with Toe and Tinkerin...check for...
So if I'm understanding correctly, the bike runs fine unless large throttle demands are made at highway speeds...in which case it responds slowly?...
Based on your picture I'd say replace it. If it looks like that on the outside what do you think it looks like inside? You could run some...
There isn't much a dealer can do that you can't by reading the diagnostic memory. Except maybe have the equipment to run a fuel pressure...
I've been a full time Honda tech for almost twenty five years and I question MANY of their recommendations. For example, a GL1800 maintainance...
Make sure the fuel return line between the tank and the pressure reg isn't kinked...that'll very much increase fuel presssure. Otherwise I like...
What I meant about the choke was too allow the bike get in the situation where it 'feels' slow, and GRADUALLY apply the choke. If for example...
Problems like that can be tricky. It sounds air/fuel related. Try applying a little 'choke' when the problem occurs to determine rich or lean....
Don't know if it does in this case but it DOES on some models. I've noticed on GL1800's for example, if you install the spring backwards when the...
After seeing the picture that's what I thought, too. Those carbs may take more than gasket sets and aerosol carb cleaner to fix though.
Excellent...sounds like ya fixed it. The hardest thing I know of on a charging system is running with a weak or otherwise strong but discharged...
To remove the bottem bearing from the stem...usually there's just enough bearing exposed to get on it with a good sharp chisel. I use a 2.5 pound...
Is the diaphragm tore?
Sure...go for it. It'll probably fix it. When I do charging systems I usually charge and check battery. The idea of watching the DCV while your...
