:cheeky1Running the engine isn't the best way to check plugs, they will likely be black after sitting idling. You really should take the bike for a warm up run and then check them.
k, was trying to get it straight before i put it all back together so i wouldn't have to tear it down again.
i'm not understanding what you're saying.are you saying open it and leave it open to see if it will accelarate? the little flapper inside the part that runs into air breather, on a stem that looks like it may open when hot? that makes sensehttp://www.hondaparts-direct.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=150317&category=Motorcycles&make=Honda&year=1999&fveh=3495 hi mark you need to check that the inlet to the air filter is opening as its controled by a diafram if you relese the spring clip that holds it in position so you can bypass it to see will the bike accelarate
may be on to something here..took it loose from breather, kinda slow to throttle but at least i can. vaccum somewhere or ?????????????http://www.hondaparts-direct.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=150317&category=Motorcycles&make=Honda&year=1999&fveh=3495 hi mark you need to check that the inlet to the air filter is opening as its controled by a diafram if you relese the spring clip that holds it in position so you can bypass it to see will the bike accelarate
Hi Mark, looks like its running too rich, make sure your choke is going off okay and filter is clean.
hi mark just catching up on this when you cleaned the carbs did you check the float hight as this sets the fuel air ratio to high a setting and the bike will run rich, if you remove the air filter will the bike accelrate ok also are you sure the top plate on the carbs is seated ok as if you tightened the heat exchanger on the bottom of the carbs first it can twist the top plate out of line, vacume leak wont stop the bike from accelrating only make it run rough you did tighten the clamps on the carb isalators sorry have to rule out what might be causing this
