I purchased a CX500 with fork and radiator damage. I just got her back together and she fired right up. She is idling well after warm up, but there is a slight pause or misfire when throttling from idle. Are there any guru's out there that can point me in the right direction. This bike has been started occasionally over the last few years, but not ridden.
Thanks,
Pete

These carbs are very similar to the other honda carbs of that era.
Look at Randakks tips and also check the Chopper Charles Forum.
Have fun, Gord
