1987 Honda FatCat - III

Having some.... difficulty. The Throttle is my main problem, it seems to just stay at the rev point for a few seconds when it's facing straight, but when its facing right, it revs up by itself. When it's left, it only revs to the point for half a second, and then it goes down. The battery is fine, I figured out i was charging it on the wrong setting. The electric start just wont work, it spins and clicks. Doesn't grab the starting gear I think. Other than that it's fine, but any suggestions or how to fix it would be a big help. (Yes, it needs fork boots.)

@funkster22657 I ride mine about every other day or so and put about 10-30 miles on it, sometimes more.

FIXED THE PROBLEM!!! It was the throttle cabel itself. Got one on eBay, when I get it and replace it, hopefully I can test out my new helmet cam I made with a few bolts LOL.

Man, I love useing my ipod on the Internet, faster than my computer!!!!!

Check the routing of the throttle cable round the handlebars, when you turn the bars it may be pulling on the cable slightly, I've had small issues like this before, it surprising how little it takes to make them play up...

I would also pull, strip and give the carb and jets a good clean...

Good Luck...

yea, i was thinking of doing that to the carb and jets. Thanks, I'll see what i can do.
