Default Why won't my Honda GL1100 idle?
My Honda GL1100 motorcycle won't idle! I have cleaned the carbs. One main jet was totally plugged but the rest were clear. Bike runs good at speeds over 40mph!

you failed to clean the idle jets and or idle air and fuel circuits. Take them back off and finish the job.Try the product called seafoam, its made to clean plugged outboards, it may help, may even fix it. but its really still just plugged.

If you did not install the new o-rings for the main jets that is the problem.When air bubbles get by the o-rings the motor will die at idle ,and cut out on accelleration.I hope I have helped.

Did you sync the carbs?
