Hello all.
After a longer period of time I have picked up restoring my 1973 CB125 Twin.
Yesterday I worked on it. I started the engine. It is only running on the rightside cylinder. I can hear some sputting once in a while comming from the leftside exhaust with the rpms slightly raised. I have re-adjusted the fuellevel within the bowl in the leftside carburettor (which was wrong).
I have only had it running on both cylinders for a few seconds.
I have tried swapping the ignition leads - same symptom so I don't think it is the ignition.
Later yesterday I came back to continue troubleshooting it.
Now it will not start at all.
I have an old Nibbi garden cultivator (500cc, 4stroke) and I use an additive in the fuel.
If not using this additive the sparkplugs simply go dead after the engine have been running.
Could this be the case with my Honda ? Do people in this forum use additive in the fuel on your old Honda Twin ?
It just came to my mind that this could be the case as the Honda was quite easy to start earlier yesterday.
Don't ask me why I didn't add this additive to the fuel on the Honda Twin. Guess it didn't struck my mind at the time.
But I will do that now.
Best regards
Carsten
