JWL1991 said:I will look into this. How do I begin to check it out?
Rich Ard said:I advise buying an infrared thermometer. You can point it at each header and see how hot Rey are. Also you will suddenly know exactly how warm everything around you is because they're fun to play with.
frogman said:OK, one side running or not is easy. Get the bike running enough to heat up the headers. Get a spray bottle or steal the kids squirt gun, fill with water and spray the headers just a bit. If the water boils away right off, that side is running. IF the water sorta hangs out or you can touch that side with wet fingers and not burn yourself that side ISN'T running. Figuring out why can be many things from no fuel to no spark to no compression.
Do you have a manual? If not there are a few places you can download the HONDA SHOP manual, like HERE or HERE Second is a link, let the manual load and then click download. If you have a Clymer, do yourself a favor and toss it in the trash. They are junk.
I suggest going through the entire tune up procedure, There's lots of good info in that manual and it will help you get things working correctly or at least figure out why things aren't.
frogman said:Probably because its Mediafire, I just checked again at it works fine. Some anti virus scanners are pretty dumb, There's a bunch of good stuff with that one too I had forgotten about.
Rich Ard said:Frogman - do you have a link to sprint66's carb float tool made from a credit card? I'm on mobile and can't find it.
JWL1991 said:The second link worked well. Getting it printed out at the copy shop later on.
The tune up process is basically the section called "Inspection and Adjustment," right?
djelliott said:3 things I can think of off hand would be:
Valves need adjusted.
Intake leak.
Timing/points not right.
One last thing could be air/fuel mix isn't right or carbs aren't synced.
