Pilot screws do affect low speed running but don't affect carb synch. You'll get it all wrong unless you study the FSM procedure as the sequence...
So maybe the old battery wasn't being charged by the system........ is why you need to check it. BTW, cold temps don't affect a starter motor.
So the wire went all the way through as illustrated above ??
You can (and should) check the charging system output (at about 5000 rpms) across the battery terminals, where anything between about 13.5 to 14.5...
wHEN You do finally get it started, check the charging voltage across the battery terminals at about 5000 rpms. :numbness:
just a few drops of oil will come out, no need to drain.
be sure you don't fill the mc all the way to the top as there needs to be some air space above the fluid.
Just adding this to an old thread: Find the tightest spot on the chain while rotating rear wheel (most have one spot tighter than others if the...
Do the 2 standard resistance checks on the coils, both ignition and pulse generators.
Look for EBC HH pads for your bike.
I believe the same rotor was used on a large number of Honda bikes of that era, several different models.
If you didn't touch the idle mixture screws you didn't clean the carbs properly. :eek-new: Blowing out jets with compressed air should be done...
Contact some salvage yards. [ATTACH][ATTACH] If Grey (one of our finest members) thinks that pump is rebuildABLE, please tell where to get the...
Yep, wherever the plugs are getting wet at idle you should look for problems with leaky float needles or incorrectly set floats, just as Grey...
It seems like those hoses shrink down under the clamps after a few years and might need a turn or two of a screwdriver to tighten things up again....
aIR FILTER IS CLEAN ?? You're sure the choke plungers are retracting fully, nothing bent, and the cable isn't stuck ?? Symptoms you describe...
There are alot of things in a carb that may need cleaning that many are unaware of. For example, if you didn't remove the idle mixture screws and...
:welcome: :congratulatory:
A failed pump relay was the first problem i had on my first VFR in 1990, about 3 weeks after i bought it, so i learned my lesson early.
I've had so many problems over so many years with pump relays crapping out that i always bypass them on every Honda i own. I'd rather worry about...
