CB 550 is starving at full throttle
« on: August 02, 2016, 09:48:24 AM »
Hi guys I hope someone can help
I have a newly rebuild CB 550 k3
With all checks and specs done by the book
Here is my problem the bike struggles to do over 60 mph
Unless I pull the choke then  she goes like a rocket and if I close the choke
Loss of power and it feels like the bike is starving of fuel .
With start up I pull the choke for a little bit then close it again and she idles well the bike doesn't struggle to start at all
any help  or ideas
would be great

Delete this thread as you already have one started with  the same title, topic, and it already has comments.
