Hey im new to this forum. I got a cb500f a month ago that ive been cleaning up and turning into a mild cafe. i havent had it running since i got it as it needed the carbs cleaned.. Im new to these types of bikes..
ive cleaned out the gas tank, petcock, changed oil and had the carbs altrasonic cleaned, rebuilt and adjusted to spec..
I put it all together and i can only keep it started if im on the throttle and choke turned just a touch from closed position.. it wont hold idle unless i give throttle.
This is the thing, it was running on 2 cylinders, the right side (of bike) headers were hot but the left side were cool
so i replaced all the spark plugs with fresh ones and now the left side (of bike) headers are hot and the right side are cool?? what should i be trying next?
I would love to take this bike for a ride..
thanks
JP
