CX500 bogging
« on: June 05, 2009, 09:40:21 AM »
1979 Honda CX500 bogging a bit when I really throttle. A friend told me it's most likely the carbs need cleaning and/or to be synced. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

CX was the only Honda I worked that needed regular NEW (even if it looked clean) air filter to run right

That too!!

I'd also clean them and have them synched. Even if only to be on the safe side.
