Mechanic who?
Perhaps there are a lot of people who know a lot about mechanics out there. When someone poses a question with out any further info....such as how far can a frog jump? Take apart and clean the whole carb and inspect it and the intake manifold minutely. If the diaphram has a hole in it that indicates to me the carb is old or has had additives or cleaners run through it that could eat the black rubbery parts. Most carbs with a throttle plate and a vacum diaphram will idle without the vacum slide even in the carb!! What you are describing sounds like a carb with partialy plugged passages that sometimes defies cleaning. Try another known good good carb and see if your problems dissapear. Two wheels motor in the middle then ride.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
