She lives with a vengance

[Pam]

A few months ago I posted that I was having carb issues with my 83. With lots of encouragment from you folks and some very good pic's that Dingy supplied I tackled a carb clean. Turns out the worst part of the job was the throtle linkages. I went through each carb one at a time that way I always had three to look at if I had a part left over. Turns out most of my jets were either plugged or partly plugged. She started right up, and almost with no choke. Every thing seemed good on the center stand. I put a license plate and insurance on it yeasterday. Again she started with very minimal choke, and off I went. SHe had a bit of a stumble at around 3 thousand RPM but would work through it to the point of hang on were going some where in a hurry. I dumped some injector cleaner in this morning and again she started with little choke. ( temp's low 50's) I used injector cleaner because I had no sea foam. I went for about a 45 mile ride. She seems to have worked the stumble out and is working great.

 

Thanks for all the help and Dingy for the Pic's. I am going to try to attach a couple of pic;s of the junk that was in the carbs and jets.

Marcarl told me a little while back that for the heck off it, he picked up from Canadian tire, a spray can of carb and choke cleaner. He then proceeded to spray the entire contents into his fuel tank full of fuel. After that he took the bike for a good long run and say,s it worked wonders. It may be worth a try. Remember to do it just before leaving on your run because that stuff evaporates fairly quick.
