Okay. it wasn't the carbs keeping DragonBrethe from running right!
Not starting right, backfiring through the exhaust, not running good at all.
After much work, cleaning the carbs(yes, they were nasty and gummy from old gas!) and calling the Mechanics at Al lambs and DFW Honda,and looking all through our shop manuel( no help there) they all said it had to be the carbs. One day redneck had an ephiphany and decided to check the ICM Ignition control module. Thanks 6 Guns! we took the bike over to his house and borrowed his ICM off his valk AND VOILA! It started  right up and ran great! Ordered a new one from Honda Direct(still waiting) for $175
they said that module hardly ever goes out, and that's why it's not listed in troubleshooting on the manual. Just wanted to pass it along! She'll be up and roaring again soon!  Grin

This might be a good time to install an ICM off an Interstate . ?   They, supposedly, are an upgrade from the Standard. .  .  unless you already have an after market trigger wheel installed.

That's true - the black Interstate ICMs have a mind-control module that will make you think you are going faster that all those blue and silver Interstates that are passing you. Grin

The problem with those black interstates is they are so hard to see in the rearview mirror of my red and cream tourer.  Roll Eyes

Since that's where we see them most, it does get easier....
