Just back from short ride to beach before WX moves in. Engine started running rough. Fresh non ethanol gas, new plugs, air filters clean. Besides rechecking plugs & using carb cleaner, what else should I check?
Thanks, non ethanol from Navarre Wal Mart wasn’t on the list. But I can siphon & refill.When a previously good running bike begins to run rough for no apparent reason, I like to change fuel first before messing with the carbs.

WAAAAAAAAY too rich. You didn't leave the choke on, did you?When a previously good running bike begins to run rough for no apparent reason, I like to change fuel first before messing with the carbs. You stated fresh gas but: https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/FLDAC/bulletins/36d129a

Rumor has it on the Honda CB boards that resistor plugs are like running a colder heat range plug, I have no idea if there's any truth to that or not though? Any idea?You can also buy some NGK LZFH caps. They're non-resistor caps. Then you can run the resistor plugs. I generally keep both combinations on hand.
I can tell you that when the supply of D8EA NGK's runs-out the CB crowd is gonna shit; as the long-reach plug caps required on 750 fours (and others) are unobtainium in non-resistorRumor has it on the Honda CB boards that resistor plugs are like running a colder heat range plug, I have no idea if there's any truth to that or not though?

Agreed about the long reach...but I was mostly speaking of the CB350 crowd, we're going through same issues with non-resistor plugs in that arena as well.I can tell you that when the supply of D8EA NGK's runs-out the CB crowd is gonna shit; as the long-reach plug caps required on 750 fours (and others) are unobtainium in non-resistor
Don't know what's -up at NGK; about all of their non-resistor products - plugs and caps - are discontinued
