Hello Friends,
1983 Heritage Special - bone stock.
Started up all right, seemed good enough to finally ride. Went a couple miles, nice long 60 mph straightaway, slowed to the stop sign...stalled and wouldn't start. Had to get picked up and trailer it home. I actually thought about just getting a different bike.
Then I came to my senses.
Would anybody clean my carbs? Hourly rate, I'll pay all the shipping and pay for all parts. I get dripping gas all the time.
So anyway after the latest breakdown, the next evening, it started right up. I didn't go anywhere because of course I don't trust it.
So floats and though it doesn't matter much the chokes stick if fully engaged. Gotta push 'em just back from fully choked then the springs take over. Maybe there's a jet problem, I don't know. All I do know is I can practically take them off blindfolded. That's messed up.
Anybody wants in on this, please let me know. I'm over my head.
Thanks-
John
