nkbjones Posted January 4, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 4, 2009 I have a friend who lives in Virginia Beach and he is having problems with his scoot and needs some help. He has a 1980 Honda CB 750 that sat for about 18 months. All things considered he says the bike runs well, with 1 exception.................when he has the bike running it will not idle properly. He can't get the idle adjusted DOWN to the right rpm's. He said that he has tried adjusting the idle screw, and even accidentally backed it off so much the screw came out (evidently a real pain to put back in), and this does not effect the idle speed. He has contacted both Honda dealers in the area and they won't touch the bike because of the the year. Any suggestions on how to fix the idle or a good shop that he can take his bike too to look at the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krome rose Posted January 4, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 4, 2009 One or more of the butterflies are closed or partially closed, as if the choke were left on. Try running some seafoam thru it, albeit fast. Brandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
