A first quick check would be to try opening up the throttle on each carb individually (probably easiest if the bike is up on the center stand; gently lift each of the throttle linkages). If it revs with one carb more than it does with the other, you've confirmed the problem. |

They are alright but not the best someone else posted about finding reprints of original honda manuals. I would try to get original first but if you cant find one you can get the Clymer on ebay for around $20 at bike shops they run $35. |
