CB200 - ran out of gas and now lacks power
« on: May 28, 2010, 04:15:50 PM »
Just purchased a 75 CB200. She has been running great but I ran out of gas today (luckily I was close to a station) and when I got it started back up she has been struggling to get above 40mph. 1st and 2nd gear are fine but the bikes has no power in 3/4 (especially up hills). Any suggestions?

Bad gas
crud made it past the filter and into the carbs
brake dragging (don't overlook non fuel issues)

missing 2 cylinders (happy to answer general questions, but this is mostly a 4-cyl site)

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

don't get me wrong, we love ALL hondas here, but the expertise here is definitely 4-cyl. and single cam 4 cyl at that.  Check out the "Other Bikes" forum here on this site.  Lota smart peeps here but there may be other sites with a twin focus.

Welcome to the site, really!
