I need your help fellows. I just purchased my first Concours, a 2002 with 48k on it. The seller told me that he got it from a honda dealer who had drilled out the jets. He says to 24mm, but I think that is the part no. because that seems quite large for a jet. Anyhow, I have noticed when riding it that when I decelerate it makes a pft... pft.. pft... sound. I cant tell if it is coming from the motor or the exhaust, although it sounds like it is coming from the exhaust. I have also noticed that when idling on startup I can smell fuel sometimes and it is definitely running rich.
Any suggestions. I have only had the bike for a week and I have put seafoam in a fresh tank of gas. A mechanic told me to just run that through the carbs and make sure I decelerate a lot to force the fuel through the idle jets.
I dont understand how clogged carbs can make it run rich, but I am by no means a mechanic.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
I live in a northern suburb of Cincinnati so if anyone is local and can call me feel free. 305-6247...
