Sad Day---Winter Hibernation
#11
Not to hijack this thread but this talk of H1's and GT380's. I still have my 75 RD350 although it's in about 1000 pieces. It needs restoration, basically just cleaned and put back together. I have to find a few parts, which is getting more difficult. I 'll get round to it one of these days here.

Other things may help. Such turning off the petcock after a ride and running some/most of the fuel out, then opening the petcock before starting next time. Also, working the choke **** out/in/out while trying to start.
Search this forum for "drill enrichment" and you'll find a few threads to ponder.

Thanks to all for your replies!! very helpful.
I do not ride in the cold months mainly because they salt the roads like there's no tomorrow. I'd hate to get any of that stuff on my bike and start the rusting process.
Also I did not know about the grounding issue/fix THANKS!! "WHYZEE" I will check/fix it.

I like to store a carb dry as well, especially with the ethanol their sneaking in gas these days... its not aluminum's friend. But stabil is good stuff, i use it in my small engines when they don't have a petcock and i'm too lazy to drain them. On a side note, i was having to choke my bike on like 90 degrees days this summer; hoping the rejet fixes this.

I've re-jetted, and still need to choke it nearly every time when the bike is cool. Even sometimes when its hot. With the #38 pilot, I didn't need to nearly as much, but that pilot was too rich for me (3000 ft) so went back to a #35.
