1980 CB650 Custom
« on: September 28, 2017, 06:17:47 PM »
I have an '80 CB650C. It has about 440 miles. Everything was fine and then it wouldn't idle at low speed, in fact, if I let go of the throttle the bike will die. It also backfires a bit. This all started after the choke knob vibrated loose. I tightened the knob and the bike never ran good again. Any help out there?

440 miles would be a museum piece,   That low miles the carbs need cleaned.   No idle usually the idle jets are pluged.     Pics of the bike pls

Once running the gaskets will start leaking too.
18 grand and 18 miles dont make you a biker
