[QUOTE="Cervantes, post: 8511, member: 611"] When I got my 79 Goldwing the owner told me he thought the carbs needed to be synced because it would sometimes run poorly, then clear itself up and run strong. Well, today I took her on a real short ride. (Short because I am still waiting for timing belts to arrive, but I had to get it registered etc.) At first it seemed to run fine... maybe a little rough at low RPMs, but not bad. After a mile or so it stalled at the first stop sign and was a hard to start. It would almost start but then immediately stall. Once I got it going, it was decent for a while, though it seemed to really hate lower RPMs. Also when it was rolling and RPMs were up, if I would throttle hard, it would hesitate, almost like it was going to stall, but then it would kick in and go. The low RPM tendency to stall made me think the idle circuit in the carb may be plugged up a bit. But the way it would run good for a while and then poorly made me think perhaps the float valve is sticking either too open or too closed. I am not smelling any gasoline, but the feel sometimes reminded me of flooding. Getting up the hill on my driveway was rough because I don't want to be going too fast, but lugging the engine at low RPMs like that makes it tend to stall pretty bad. I am not a mechanic - so I thought I would throw it by you-all and see if I my thinking is logical and get your expert opinions. Thoughts? Cervantes [/QUOTE]
