CB550 K3 First thoughts - First Ride - Carb Issue?

<< < (2/3) > >>

LesterPiglet:
My first thought is, isn't it strange that after one week without the engine running, it starts (with difficulty) without the choke?

Hmmm I thought that too - but my garage is nice and warm if that would make any difference.

I am going to empty the fuel out of the tank and check the float in carb 4 tomorrow.
I'll clean and gap the plugs and see how (if) it starts with fresh fuel

LesterPiglet:
Does your bike have the standard ignition?
It's just that I find my bike easy to start virtually chokeless but it has a Hondaman Ignition module, which I do know has been a huge improvement since I installed it.

Yes, standard points etc.

Just had a look at the hondaman - looks good. Quite fancy one of them.  :D

I've used the basic Boyer since the late 70's,

simple and easy to fit and set up
