My brother dropped his Shadow off to be jetted. He died on another bike a few weeks later.
I have no Idea what was done to the bike, but I picked it up and it runs like shit.
It was dumping gas out of the rear cylinder exhaust, and the front was WAY rich. The plugs were fouled and all of the hoses were routed wrong.
Here's where I stand.
I jetted it down to 160 dynojets. Fixed the hoses. and cleaned the plugs. I also set the float levels to where they were supposed to be.
The plugs are firing and it's getting gas. The front cyl is perfect.
Problem is, the rear is dumping raw gas into the exhaust pipe (strait shots) and doesn't seem to be running. (no real heat, and the plugs just wet foul). I can't seem to get the damn rear cylinder to hit.
Any Idea where I need to look? Stuck valve? weak spark? sticking CV slide?
Any knowledge of these old Honda's would be appreciated. It's still my brother's bike. He put 120,000+ miles on this thing and I can't just let it sit.
