Mufflers

Post by JSchuster15 » Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:25 am

Had straight pipes on my 1964 Honda dream and found originals and put them on. My bike ran perfect with straight pipes and with the originals it is very hard to get running. Anyone know why or tips?
Thanks, Jason

Jason,

It may have been re-jetted for the straight pipes, and now is running rich with the stock mufflers. Pull the spark plugs, and check the color of them. You'll also want to remove the jets, and see what size they are, as well as checking the numer on the jet needle, and what position the clip is in.
