  1. I'll be in the A group with my video camera. Got some good stuff Tuesday even the guy who crashed in turn one. I thought I was close enough for some good shots only to find that the crash was just out of range and appears very small on the video.

  2. IMO if the pilots were clogged or bad, the bike would not be idling well, if at all. or it would only run with the choke on.

    This is because as the pilot goes bad people will adjust up the idle to get the bike to idle. What you have done is set the idle on the needle. Thats why the bike will idle but as you rev the bike the engine doesn't want to return to idle.

    If I was a betting man I would put my money on the jet. If the bike is that old seafoam probably will not work. Its a good product but if you could see some of the crude I have pulled out of neglected bikes carbs you would understand.

  3. Some of you might have caught the bike thread i made. About the 82 Honda Magna v45. I knew it needed some work when i bought it...and now trying to diagnose...and fix the issues. Bike starts up and runs ok. Once you give it gas, rev it....it wants to hang in the rpm range for a while. It takes some time for it to go back down. Hopefully it's something small, such as the carbs need synched.

    Would anyone here...be willing to check it out and synchronize the carbs? I don't have the tools, so if you do...and know what needs to be done, and your interested. I would be more than willing to compensate you for your time.

    I'm in Lancaster, so...hopefully looking for someone close. Columbus/Obetz area.

    Thanks.

    Sounds like the Pilot jets are bad and the bike is idling off the needle jet. Best thing to do is either get some Yamaha carb cleaner and soak them over night in this stuff or buy new ones and be done with it.

    If the bike starts idles and when you rev the throttle hangs at about4k rpm I would guess its the pilot jets are fouled. Did this bike sit around for a while?
