I had the problem on my CX100. The idle sets had some crude in them. Use a
wire and clean out the passages as best you can and then spray with wd or
carb cleaner. Be careful of the splash from carb cleaner.

I generally use a can of wd-40 or the like with the long nozzle
and squirt it into every hole in the carb body as well as every
jet until it squirts out the other side more or less
unrestricted. Stubborn clogs will require tougher methods.
Various sizes of guitar string can be good uncloggers too if you
have any of that lying around.

 Make sure there isn't any junk inside the pilot jets. I
always use a number
drill the correct size or slightly smaller to clean them. If
the pilot jet
numbers between your old and new carbs are the same chances
are that the jet
size is correct. Also do your best to clean the pilot
passages in the
carbs.

Hi all,

My Eldo have been lean off idle since I built it. It will
idle fine,
but when I go to take off it is really lean and bogs down. I
went
through the carbs completely when I built the bike initially,
and
noticed one carb body had some significant corrosion, so I got
a second
complete set which I am rebuilding now. They are in great
shape, but I
wonder if I should alter the jetting any to try and correct
the
condition.

I am using the stock airbox, stock jetting, and a new filter I
got from
Gordon and Rick.

Would a larger pilot jet help?

TIA

73 Eldo
