Carb Woes
« on: July 08, 2015, 09:24:21 AM »
Took my 75 CB550 out for a nice ride on the 4th,,,, so enjoyable to ride and ran perfect. On the way back I stopped and filled up the tank with non ethanol fuel, rode it home and put it in the garage. Next day gonna take it out again, but now won't run without half to full choke.
Tells me that there is a fuel delivery problem, clogged jet or something?? Guess I stirred something up during fueling . Any fix on the bike or just get busy getting them off and disassemble all four and clean? Thanks

when was the last time the carbs were completely cleaned?
tank completely clean with a good sock or inline fuel filter?
fuel level in bowls checked recently?

You can also crack all the bowl drains and see if they all have fuel in them?
