History of my problems
August 2011 Honda Runs Great
September 2011 The "Mice Event" bad news. Mice packed the air filter area with grass and chewed holes in the air filter. I then forced it to run and it did not want to. Then I discovered the mice nest. Runs poor, no power etc.
Spring 2012 Did a compression test on both cylinders. (good compression) Carburetor removed and cleaned, added air screw spring which was missing and the "O" ring. Runs better but still not great. Seems like the right muffler has a weaker exhaust than the left.
October 17, 2012 6059 miles removed dynamo cover and all of the oil came out. Happy to hear that it was supposed to. THANKS SPOKES. Adjusted cam chain, starts good, idles good, but no power. fastest it will go is 32mph.
November 27, 2012 Installed new plugs, the old left was white and the old right was like new. I checked points (good) checked valve clearance (good)
New oil ( precise amount ) THANKS LARSFROMARZ found out overfill could effect power.
Cleaned out the right muffler baffle and vacuumed out the muffler.
Started it up and readjusted the carburetor.
Voila --- runs great, plenty of power Success ! Finally running as good as August 2011.
THANKS GUYS
My next step is to install two new whitewall tires. Is there anything that I have to be careful with ?
