The sun is out and the birds are chirping so I decided it was time to get the strokers out!

I last rode her in October, I never drained the carbs just put a sheet over and forgot. Today I drained the carbs and put new fuel in the tank and fired her up. It is running really badly, poping on the r/h cylinder and reving really high at times like the throttle is stuck open, barely enough power to pull away, it just seems to be running on one cylinder but Im not to sure.

I expect to have to remove and clean the jets but thought i would ask you guys (and girls) what you think first.

I left my 3MA the same but that kicked over and ran fine even with the same fuel!

Any ideas?

I think you got to strip them carbs It all sounds like carb trouble. I'd give the plugs a clean while your at it.
I tend to turn off the fuel tap and let my NSR run untill out of fuel, if i'm not going to run it for any length of time.

Thanks for the advice Jeff, thought that would be the case!

When I last went out it was mint.

It's like having kids, leave them for two minuets and.....

Your only up the road from me, I am in Lymington!

Have to meet up one day, what bikes you got?

You should pop over to Jeff's open day Lobe, this Saturday!

Wish i,d known that a couple of weeks ago Wayne and i were in pennington after a ride through the forest, with some guys from the salmon leap in Totton.
Bike wise i,m down to one mc16 and a GSXR400 track bike.
Like max said pop over to sparsholt saturday, meet some of the boys

Did you sell the 3MA on e bay a little while ago?,I remember seeing one for sale in Lymington.

That was a guy just up the road from my workshop, black one?

Can you fill me in a bit more about Sparshot? Does jeff have a shop?

Don't worry, just seen the other post, Doh!!

If I can manage to get those carbs out of there and get it running I will try and get up, other wise it might be TZR! or RGV?

Honda carbs in general seem to hate having fuel left in them - their gennies are the same.

Usually draining the old off and running fresh through has solved my woes, but a strip and clean will be the best bet.

Took the carbs off to clean and noticed the inlet rubber to the reeds was almost in two pieces!!!

It must have perished, the bike has only done about 3,000 miles which is strange.

If anyone has one please let me know.
