That sucks OSP but only a $100 to fix a bike that isn't running isn't that bad. Ya know...

Knowing Honda, they probably used the same type petcock on a dozen different models. Any motorcycle yards near you?

I actually found a replacement part... it's the whole vacuum assembly... which is cheaper than the replacement diaphrams I found for other models... $30 is WAY better than $100 any day... I'll order it when I get back from vacation... |

Replaced the petcock parts and the bike still wouldn't run worth a shit... Tried a fuel additive... still no bueno... also replaced the battery (donated from the TL)
I took apart the carb this weekend and cleaned it out real good... there was a good amount of gunk in various places and several of the passageways were partially or completely blocked. When I put it all back together, she took a while to start, then fired right up... Now she fires right up, no choke, just blip the starter and she's running like a top. ONSSP and I put on about 45 miles on Sunday and I rode it to work yesterday and today... Still gotta do a couple little things to it, but all in all it's just gas and go... it feels damn good to be back on two wheels. Here's a shitty cell phone pic: |
