Hi all,
New guy reporting in.
Bought my first 650 at the beginning of the summer, I'm super excited. I've only owned a smaller Honda CB125 in the past, so the 650 seems pretty huge.
It's a bone stock 1980 Special, it starts up fine and sounds great, but once I take the choke off, it immediately dies. I've tried warming up it up for about 20-30 minutes, still dies without choke.
I'm guessing it's a carb issue, PO said it recently had rebuilt carbs (but you know how that goes), but I'm wondering if there is a procedure or trick to warming these up that I don't know of?
Like on my old Honda, I would need to warm it up with choke, but then dial up the idle before taking the choke off, otherwise it would die.
thanks,
Aaron
