1979 CX 500 c Chokes out

Postby <8fdb.html?mode=viewprofile&u=950">Danb » Fri Mar 11, 2011 7:19 pm

I have a 1979 CX 500 c. I am having a problem when I accelerate it sputters then when I give it full throttle it kicks in but sounds muffled. I checked the resistors in the cap and there was a little carbon fouling one side, I cleaned that up. I thought maybe the carbs so I tried putting some seafoam in to no avail. When sitting on the bike running I pull the right plug and it dies, when I pull the left plug it still runs . Anybody have any ideas?

This forum doesn't get as busy as Chopper Charles site so you may get faster answers there,

I would fully clean and set up the carbs,
