You guys should alter your mixture by putting in new main jets.
If they get that hot, the exhaust fumes are way to hot, and that usually depend on a way to lean mixture.

It sounds like the bike´s backfiring through the carbs?
Or what is it?
Mostly happens when on low RPM and bike cold.
Anyone have a clue how to cure this?

//Anders.

Check the vakuum hose to your fuel tap. If that´s not the problem: Check your needle jet, your main jet, your main jet holder for something that shouldn´t be there. Also check your fuel lines to the carbs, the white things that float in the float chambers (what the heck are they called?) make sure ...

np :-)
like I said, been there, done that... Had to figure it out myself though :-)

Happy riding!

Well I guess that Honda isn´t allways the dogs baldrocks then....

Are you putting in a manual CCT?
How much are they?
What´s the mileage of your bike?

//Anders.

BTW: What is a rear CCT?

//Anders.

Wait, you can´t be done already, I just scanned pictures from my Repair handbook to be able to explain better!

Dogs baldrocks, I learned from "51st state" that it´s the opposite of "baldrocks" and means GOOD right?

Have a nice ride!

//Anders.

I tried to explain, there are TWO pipes that it is possible to attach the vacuum hose to.

One has a "one way valve" and the other doesn´t.

Go have a look.
The one that it SHOULD be connected to points the same way as the fuel line for the front carburetor.

GOGOGO!

Isn´t that Gotham?

"Göteborg" is the Swedish spelling, anyway.

Let´s see...
Roughly 2200 Km, means about 10-11 tank stops. unless you do 180 kph the entire time.

I drove 1100 km from Germany two weeks ago, I stopped for fuel about 6 times...

//Anders.

Since I live in Sweden, it won´t do much good :-) You should drive to Sweden while your´e at it instead :-) Theres nothing like popping a few wheelies after a bad week at work... Puts the smile back where it belongs.. on your face! I got mine sorted the other day, but I haven´t really missed anyth ...

Can you remember if you connected it to the one going down?

It only took me 10 hours and 5 complete disassemblies of the carbs to figure that one out... Just to comfort you..

//Anders.

Hi. All of the above was meant for RQ. I meant that it was weird that my bike ran on the front cylinder when I had had the exact same problem as RQ. If the rear carburetor doesn´t get any fuel, why does the front get enough to run? Maybe because the fuel has an easier path to run to the front carb o ...

RQ´s problem is that he connected the vakuum hose to the wrong place on the fuel-tap. He connected it to the one going straight down, vertically... Right? When he should have connected it to the little pipe that goes parallell to the fuel-line to the front carb. Been there, done that... The one t ...
