I AM FROM ONT CANADA.THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS GETTING COLD AND WINTER IS NEAR.I JUST PURCHASED AN 82 CB900F.THE BIKE IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION.I HEARD IT RUN,STARTED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND DROVE IT IN TO MY GARAGE THREE DAYS AGO.THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOOK METICULOUS CARE OF IT.THE CARBS WERE REMOVE4D,CLEANED,RE-JETTED AND THE BIKE SEEMED TO START & RUN FINE.I WAS TOLD THAT THIS BIKE IS CONSIDERED COLD BLOODED.I AM NOW FINDING OUT WHAT THAT MEANS.I WANTED TYO GET IT READY FOR WINTER HIBERNATION IN MY GARAGE.I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE PRIOR OWNER HAD ALREADY PUT FUEL STABILIZER IN A 2/3 FULL TANK.I FILLED THE TANK AND ADDED A FEW ADDITIONAL OZ OF HONDA STABILIZER.I TRIED TO START IT BY PULLING CHOKE ALL THE WAY OUT,GAS ON,KILL SWITCH IN RUN,KEY ON,PRESS START.I DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES,THE ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT WON'T FIRE.THE BIKE HAS AN ACCELERATOR PUMP BUT I'M NOT THAT SURE HOW/WHY THIS FUNCTIONS.THINKING THAT I MIGHT HAVE FLOODED IT,AS I TRIED TWISTING THE THROTTLE SEVERAL TIMES TOO,I TRIED CLEARING GAS BY HOLDING THROTTLE WIDE OPEN,KILL SWITCH OFF,CHOKE OFF,HIT START FOR FIVE SECONDS.NO LUCK.I ALSO TRIED APPLLYING HEAT TO ENGINE WITH AN EXTERNAL HEATER,(IT IS ABOUT 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE).I DON'T SMELL GAS AND STILL CAN'T GET BIKE TO FIRE.I WOULD LIKE TO RUN STABILIZER THROUGH CARBS FOR 15 MINUTES,THEN SHUT DOWN AND DRAIN FUEL FROM BOWLS FOR THE WINTER.
