[QUOTE="Floridadtz, post: 1297305, member: 92928"] [b]still won't idle[/b] Yeah, I tried all of the above. I put good quality MC oil in the case, $4+/qt. The mxing oil I used cost $9/pt from the Honda dealer. I've gone thru the carbs, made sure the float level was right, and made absolutely sure ALL passages were clear -cleaned em whether they needed it or not, using wire & compressed air. Running a brand new air filter, new plug too. Did the pressure test on the case- good! Removed & inspected the reed valves, all is ok there. The jets were never changed, they are the originals - the bike used to idle with them. Adjusted the throttle cable for minimum slack. Put a new fuel filter on her, and "rebuilt" the petcock. As far as checking the plug color, do I just try to keep it running, without revving it above idle, then kill it and and check it? I'm assuming riding it, then checking the plug will tell me nothing, since it accelerates and runs great. It won't run without constant feathering, unless the choke is pulled slightly out. Then, it bogs when accelerating. Sure sounds like the idle jet is clogged right? But it's not, and is making me crazy! :coocoo: [/QUOTE]
