I remember this being discussed years ago, but can't find the threads and do not remember what the solution is....anyways.....
Bike has been running great for last couple a years, then left it sit for about a month. Now suddenly it acts like it's cold all the time and won't pull at low rpm even when warmed up. If the choke is on it pulls off the line a lot better and past 3000 RPM it still pulls like a horse. (Passed 100mph in 4th and still pulling hard) The idle now seems rough and when rolling down the hiway and let off throttle the dam thing pops and sorta backfires as it's slowing down (jardine 4 in 2 never did that before).
I bought the bike new in 78 (64K miles) and don't remember ever being into the carbs and it's been a long time since valves were ground. Does this sound like the dreaded pickup wire under the right case or am I looking at a plugged carb passage or some other carb problem?
Jeez, I hate the thought of taking it to a dealer but ain't too anxious to get into the carbs.
Anyone been thru this and/or have some advice?
Thanks,
Bob
