suggestions and did the following. The oil needed changinf so did that with
Delvac15/40 and new Honda filter, then I took off the shelter and cleaned and
re-oiled my K&N air filter and while I had the shelter off, I inspected and
attempted to tighten the 4 screws on the petcock but they were tight. I then
discovered that the previous owner had put a (T) on the narrow tubing coming
from the back of the petcock and the cap that was on the (T) had gotten hard and
cracked all over and so I replaced it with a new one. I reassembled the bike,I
also checked the side stand switch while the plastic was off. I reassembled all
and then gave her a good washing and drying. I took it to work tonight and it
road better than it has in months. I have a feekiing that the cap was allowing
a vaccum loss and the petcock shut down but for me that's only speculation. Now
if ever I can actually sync the carbs, I'm sure it will fly but still unsure of
the process and making the manometer. That's for another day.
