Brian, thanks for replying to our question. Randy is at work right now so I´m going to try and ask and answer some questions using female talk so bear with me. My Honda is very cold natured when she finally cranks she just runs on 1 cylinder until she gets some heat built up in her, then randy can start reving up the motor, she stalls several times while doing this then she´ll catch and the back cylinder will catch, the back cylinder comes in and out. She back fires too. He took the carberator off and checked the jets there was a hole clogged up in each one, he opened it up and we hoped it was clear. checked the float, it seem OK. We didn´t see any lacquer in the carbs. Where is the idle thingie at? Oh the back cylinder comes to life when he was riding it around the block but when he lets off the gas it wants to go out again, so I think he had to keep it reved up. If he did throw the carbs out of sink how do we go about putting them back in sink again. This iddle passage where is it? I watch my husband while he works on things and learn as he goes so in the future and can help him so I´m probable asking questions he may already know, so bear with me. Brian, we were going to put it in the shop tomorrow (Tuesday)and I wasn´t looking forward to what it was going to cost us cause nothing is cheap when you have to put it in the shop. If you know what I mean. if I´m not asking to much could you give my husband a call and talk to him about this. He´s knows quite a bit about motorcycles and honda´s for that matter. He took one years ago and tore one down completely and made a chopper out of one and did a fine job if I do say so myself. We live in North Carolina. You can email us directly at mrandmrsbozzy@aol.com and I can give you the number. If not I completely understand and appreciate any more help you can give us. Thanks His wife
