Replaced the petcock parts and the bike still wouldn't run worth a shit... Tried a fuel additive... still no bueno... also replaced the battery (donated from the TL)
I took apart the carb this weekend and cleaned it out real good... there was a good amount of gunk in various places and several of the passageways were partially or completely blocked. When I put it all back together, she took a while to start, then fired right up... Now she fires right up, no choke, just blip the starter and she's running like a top. ONSSP and I put on about 45 miles on Sunday and I rode it to work yesterday and today... Still gotta do a couple little things to it, but all in all it's just gas and go... it feels damn good to be back on two wheels. Here's a shitty cell phone pic: |

I'm still loving my '01. For what its worth, I go to hondashadow.net and shadowriders.net for tech topics, spare parts and mods. They have some pretty detailed posts buried if you search for any issues you may come across, especially the first place.

Before you go tearing into it too much, drain every bit of gas and throw in some BP 93. Had a set of pressure washers I bought years ago that sat underneath an uncovered deck for 2 years. Started up first pull but ran like shit. Drained the gas and went to the gas station for new gas and it runs like a champ ever since.
Sweet score!

That's cool. You would think if it was a recall part they would keep at least 1 or 2 on hand.

God damnit...
Turns out that the leak was the diaphram on the petcock... Turns out that when you take it apart it dissinegrates in your hands... Turns out there's a repair kit for every Honda model ever produced... except this one... Turns out that there's a recall on it... Who wants to guess that the dealer will require me to bring in the bike in for them to repair it... and who wants to take bets on it NOT working when I put it back together... Motherfucker. |
