poor running
Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2020 5:02 pm
Hi,
I recently purchased a 1982 C90zz, I had one of these in the 80`s so always wanted to revisit these great bikes.
It only has 3k on the clock, its been sitting in a garage since 1992.
It appears to have a healthy spark, I gave it fresh petrol and it fires up fine but after 2 or 3 minutes of running it stops
then wont start up again unless I clean the spark plug (dry black carboned up) I've repeated this a couple of time but
the plug still carbons up. I cleaned out the Carb/jets etc, still the same, I followed the Hayes Manual and adjusted the
mixture, still the same. I have now purchased contact breakers and a condenser and will look at the timing, Have I missed
something that I should consider?
Grateful for any advise,
Graeme
