Can we place a larger capacity jet? Seems like there's more air to fuel ratio and I was thinking of the jets.

would the air mixture screw (I'm assuming this is the idle mixing screw) make a difference on the acceleration? I'm asking because the screws are new ones and the acceleration seems to feel like it's starving for fuel. Can we adjust the fuel at all?

I had a fuel leak and thought that it was the float height, so I checked and checked and checked. So again I will be checking the floats, but this time I shall get a professional to eyeball them for me. I'm not sure of myself anymore, though I may say that I'm very proficient at removal and...

83 Aspencade

I'm looking into the repair manual but can't find the vacuum canister. Is this the small hose that's connected to carb #3?

I need some insight as to what is going on with the acceleration. I punch the throttle and whah-la nothing, can't get it to 4000 rpm. I've seen here is some topics that it could be the slides, the vacuum, the fuel filter, etc. Is this the reason that some just give up and go with the single gas...

replacing the flasher worked. Thanks for the help

Any way to check the signal switch? I'd like to try to bypass it and see what happens.

I have tried to bypass the flasher only to get the same result. That is, with the power on, both directional lights are on. When I use the switch, each light goes off. They seem to be working in reverse by being on all the time and shutting off when called for flashing. I'm inclined to think...

I am reviving this 83 aspencade and have no blinkers. The radio system looks rusty like it got wet, so I'm trying to eliminate it. I seem to have all the wiring, though it's out of the bike. I'm trying to use only the harness that goes to the lights.The wires to the blinkers are good, they have...

Thanks for the replies. I also think that it doesn't take it. And that's why I couldn't find it in the first place. Damn it. Thanks again

I tried to power brake the bike and smoke the tires, but without success. I know, it was dumb. Then the bike would still move with the clutch depressed. I thought that it was the plates bent, so I purchased a basket from EBay and replaced the plates. I looked at the Goldwing service manual and...

I'm happy to get some good replies, thank you. I don't really understand a couple of things. How does the gas get to the plenum seal without the fuel pump? On the petcock trick, do you need to turn it off, on, off, on, off, on as you're riding? Either way, I think that I'll be removing the carbs...

I just rebuild the carburetors and now the bike seems to be running OK but there's a lot of fuel inside the air box.

My name is Gene, I'm from Massachusetts and it's getting a bit cold to ride. I just picked up an 83 Aspencade and it's keeping me away from the TV, and that's good. Just cleaned and rebuilt the carbs, still off the bike. Also replacing the timing belts, t-stat, radiator hoses, fuel hoses, air...
