Hi all; 99 legend TT. Put it to bed for the winter same way as the last 4 years. Woke it up for the summer & wow! Very poor at low speed, won't even stay running. Have the Haynes manual. It says to start with new plugs, which I did. No help. Possibly carbs? Keihin. I have no problems working on my old 66 Bonne, but need some advice on the "modern" engines.
Anyone out there familiar with this problem. Sure would appreciate some advice. Followed Greaser's advice on changing plugs, right on the money. Thx.

Help. Terry D. Cincinnati

Poor running at low speed (presume engine speed) sounds like either the coils or the pilot jets need a good scrub ?

The problem with putting it to bed "the same way as the last 4 years" is that our government has mandated a fine blend of ethanol and gasoline.

Did you put any fuel conditioner in? Some of them don't work with the ethanol blend and crystalize in the carbs.

I'd clean the carbs and run some seafoam and fresh gas through them.

How did the old plugs look when you pulled them out?

Next step, clean the carbs. Plugs were in decent condition, replaced them anyway.

Sure appreciate the help.

Thx

Yeah after all that time funny things crystaline and congealed can appear inthe float chamber, good clean and compressed air blow out needed, ID also take fuel tank off swill out with fresh fuel and clean the tap filter, Rob.
