bike is still sputtering at low rpms, changed plugs, air filter, gas, and cleaned bowls, jets, slides, and rest of carbs. plugs were white when i pulled them. seems like it is fuel starved? still runs better with choke on, but not a hundred percent. where is my air fuel mixture, and idle adjust, or am i going in the wrong direction? any input would be a help, been at this all weekend thanks

 

how do i check my cdi and coil packs with an oms meter?

 

I have posted the test proceedure (11 pages) for Honda_CBR1000F_Service_Manual_Ignition System to here...

Best if you follow tests, in order, of the pages I posted.Otherwise you will be running around in circles.

If your plugs are white, she's running WAY too lean !!

 

You say it runs better with the choke on. And as Shadow says, white plugs indicate running lean. Are you sure your carbs are getting fuel? Disconnect the fuel line atthe petcock, put a piece of tubing on it and run it to a can. Fire up the bike (there shouldbe enough fuel in the carbs to run it for a whi.le) and see what the fuel flow is through the petcock. Not sure about our bikes, but most have afi.lter inside the tank or within the petcock that can be plugged. If your bike is one that has a fuel pump, check it. If you have a vacuum operated petcock make sure your vacuum line is intact and attached. You don't mention smellinga fuel leak, so most l.i.kely the l.ine to your carbs isintact, butis it kinked or blocked? If all that is okay and fuel is getting to your carbs, check to see if the floats are set right.

 

any way to adjust the air fuel mix? thanks
