You guys helped me out last time... I bought an 85 Honda VF500 as a beginner bike and had a bad idle, found the idle adustment screw and fixed it. I finally took an MSF course and Im takin my license test today. so I go out to my bike and I turn it on but it shuts off when i turn the throttle. It kept on doing it and i kept on messin with the Idle screw. Now it barley starts. I was thinkin the carbs, any ideas? I really want to ride.

Thanks,
Nate

 

Come on guys, I just got my license and I'm super anxious to ride. I know one of you guys know.

 

I'll take a stab at it...

Has it been sitting for a long time? Me's thinkin the carbs might be all varnished up from being put away for a winter and not having the fuel being treated with stabilzer.

 

Thats what im thinkin. Im hoping its something else before I go and pull all four carbs. Anything I should look at before I do that?
