Wicky, I think you are right about the throttle cables having too much tension. I am going to take the tank back off and reset them. I thought I had them just loose enough. I have been running this bike in my garage for about 20 minutes and day and I can tell a huge difference in it with each day. I...

also one more thing. the black knob that controls idle speed. I have that knob screwed all the out, like NOT touching the throttle and the idle is around 1k. wouldn't it be lower?

Ok, one more symptom I have noticed while letting it run for a few minutes in my garage. I have notice a small blue flame coming from the exhaust when the popping occurs. Also, I have set the bike up for syncing but do not have the tools to do it. I was going to try to make a trip to my local Honda ...

Yea, the carb cleaner around the inlet boot might not be a good idea. I am stumped by this. I guess the only thing to do is make a list and checking off all possible problems. About the PAIR removal, I have been told it is possible to flip the reeds in the valve covers over and that would shut the s...

No, I still have the pair system installed and working. The popping occurs during idle so far. Also, I sprayed some carb cleaner around the carb boots and the bike shut off. Is this normal? My exhaust has always leaked at the very bottom of the bike but other than that its good. I will try to get th...

OK, so I have my bike back together after breaking the carbs down, cleaning them and replacing the jets and float valves. The bike runs great with one exception. It pops on the decel and at idle it occationally sounds like it misfires. I thought prehaps it was an intake leak around the boot to the b...

Yes, the boost joint is the title Honda gives the part on the US market. Sorry

ok, I got the broken booster joint out. Used an eye glass screw driver and a LOT of press. Came right out, also went ahead and ordered another joint. With any luck, I might have it by Saturday. Back to syncing carbs. I did not think I would have to do this. I have been told as long as I you dont mak...

Has anyone one broken a new boost joint off in your block?? Because this dude just did!! any idea how to get it out??? Please someone!

Ok, I got the linkage problem figured out. I had it one backwards. Ready for my next problem??? As I was installing the booster joint, I rung it off in the block! wombles me running! I got think they make an easy out small enough to get this thing out.

Sorry, I cant view that link. Does the screw for the linkage have anything to do with syncing the carbs? I have NOT touched the fuel air screws ( the D screws). Would I need to would about snycing them eventhough I didnt touch them?

do you have a pic of the linkages in the CORRECT postion ??

Yes, I disassemble the carb pack for cleaning. I dont think I have the carb with the TPS sensor on correctly. There are three tabs on the sensor. One small, two large. I set it back up with the small one tab in the groove. This is my only hang up to finishing this.

Ok, so I have disassembled, cleaned and replace many parts to both my carbs. Now I have reassembled them but have noticed one of the butterflies is open while the other is not. Is it suppose to be like this or do I need to take the linkage arm lose and try something else?

sorry dude, you got the wrong guy. I have yet to replace a CCT. Hopefully will not have to.
