Hello - Just joined up w/ the SOHC-4 Forum and first time question -
I have a 1972 CB500-4 that had a throttle cable snap on her. Prior to the cable snapping, the bike was running better than ever. I replaced both push and pull cables and replaced the tank. The tension on the pull is great and the throttle snaps back to start position perfectly (from all angles of front tire).
The only issue is that I need to have the idle pin cranked fairly high to get a good 2000rpm idle and when I put into gear and try to ride, the engine stalls.
I thought I possibly had the fuel lines from the petcock reversed but switching them didnt help; I think I may need to adjust the throttle cable to have more tension (keep the carb open) even at rest.
Any tips or advice? Things I am not thinking of?
Thanks in advance.
