[QUOTE="J. Buck, post: 62931, member: 2404"] I am a new GW owner, i have always wanted one but never could pick one up on my budget. i now have an 86 aspencade 1200 that had been parked for 7 yeas will all fluids still in the bike. The bike was all pulled apart with the exception of the tires and motor. After many parts and rebuild kits and now waiting on new tires, we were just about to take her for a test drive. After cleaning out and rebuilding the carbs and airbox and setting it up with a mercury gauge, we had her running and idling good. The bike sat for about 3 weeks and now we were about to take her out for a test drive we cannot get the bike to idle. If you choke it she will start up and run good, when you try to take it off choke she dies out. I believe i have all of the vacuum lines hooked up correctly (since we did have it running good 3 weeks ago). I know basic mechanics and i have a co-worker who knows bikes, but he is lost for ideas. Like a lot of other GW restorers, money is tight so i just don't want to try buying parts, plus i would not know what to get. Can anyone out here give me an idea on what to look for? [/QUOTE]
