Well as i mentioned in my Intro post, I picked up a 1991 ST1100 non running but nice and clean. (pic below) I got it running but only via Choke. Keep in mind this is my first more modern bike as I wrench and tinker with vintage 70's Hondas. I decided to pull the carbs and see whats happening with them. I shall say its quite a task but after browsing around the forums I dove right in. The very first thing I did when i got the bike is pulled every fuse to check them out, almost all had some white corrosion on them, cleaned them up and re inserted them. Then i changed the plugs, and started tearing her down to pull the carbs. At first glance it looks quite intimidating, but once i got going it went pretty well. Im waiting on a Carb Kit now so hopefully I can remember how it all goes back together
In the pics below, you will see the reason it did not want to throttle up or even idle with no choke for that matter. Both the idle and main jets where all clogged up. The PO let this bike set awhile i suppose. Ill get her all cleaned up and running like a top. Looking down at the Valves, they are gunky too, so ill have to clean them as good as i can.
Thanks for looking!
