I have an '80 with 38mm carbs from a '76. I have owned an XS since 1977. I have never had anything like this happen. The bike has been sitting for about a year. I start it regularly and have fuel stabilizer. I decided to put it back on the road. I did plugs oil battery etc. It started up, as it always has. in a couple of kicks. It idled and ran great in seconds. But absolutely refuses to rev up! It just does a blaaaaaa kind of thing and returns to running perfectly at idle. I've had the carbs off twice. The sliders, diaphram are good, all passages are clean and have been blown out. The floats are set exactly.
I began think electrical...The battery says 12.5v 14+volts running. Spark is bright. I even tried a spare tdi. Still the same! This is the first time I ever haven't been able to diagnose and fix a problem with these bikes.....????
I hope someone can steer me in the right direction...
Many thanks
