Ok, Gurus all!
I need some input on a couple of different issues with My 85 Aspy. First of all, after synching my carbs, my fuel economy went down by about 3 mpg. I attribute part of it to the fact that daytime temps here are running 106 to 112, but I also noticed a couple of backfires during deceleration in the last few days, leading me to believe that the slow air cutoff valve is due for a rebuild. Problem is, I can't find the dang thing! Is it necessary to remove to carbs to get at it?
Secondly, does anyone have a bulb number for the lights on either side of the headlight? All I know for sure is that they are 12 volt 4 watt bulbs. Has anyone tried brighter bulbs?
Lastly, is there an aftermarket fuel filter that I can pick up at my local auto parts store? Whenever I attempt to purchase parts from my local Honda dealer, I get mostly a blank open-mouthed stare. Actually, I've got three Honda dealers within 25 miles of my home and neither one of them is worth the powder it would take to blow them up. Sorry for venting, but customer service is unfortunately not a strong suit at either of these dealers.
Thanks,
TDS
