Talking about myself here! The weather in Florida the last few days has been colder than usual. Since the RSTD is kept in the garage over night, I had to use the choke the other morning to get the bike started. After a few minutes of high idle, I pushed the choke in A LITTLE to slow it down. Got on the helmet, climbed on board, and set off for a short trip to the next town for a Dr. visit. I immediately noticed that the bike was not running "right". It was a little sluggish and idled slow. In fact, it even stalled at a traffic light. I thought that maybe the idle had gotten turned down too far somehow so, when I got to my appointment, I turned it up a bit. On my return home, it was still not right. I stopped at a gas station and filled the tank, thinking maybe I got some bad fuel. I started the bike and, for reasons I can't explain, I leaned over and checked the choke knob. IT WAS STILL OUT! No wonder it was running like crap. O.K. you cold weather residents, stop laughing!

Finally got everything connected to the engine and it started right up. That was testerday. ran fine. Today, it will start but only with full choke and only one cylinder firing. the tach works. the cylinder that runs is the right front. Any ideas???

Hi, My '84's choke works but won't stay put & slides back off again unless I hold it in place. Is there an adjustment somewhere to increase the friction of the choke cable or mechanism? I have looked through the manual but can't find anyu referece to this. Any advice welcome. Thanks, Brian H.

Just curious what kind of Hg readings people get with the carbtune on 1st Gen bikes. I rebuilt my carbs new all new diaphrams all jets cleaned out (Had a idle problem had to keep bike on full choke to idle the tiny purge jets were clogged) I can idle with no choke now but I if I give it throttle it dies. Not very high readings on the carbtune almost non-existant except for #2 any ideas? Gonna try colortune first I guess.
