Hi to all,

I'm new to this forum and just purchased a CX500 Eurosport to get back to biking after too many years to remember, I'm a proper old fart now but still 30 odd in the head. The bike needed some attention, fuel tap diaphram popped, plug on blink, plug cap cracked, exhaust leaking slightly but now all fixed except one final problem so need your valued help. When the bike's cold and on choke it runs fine but once warmed to running temperature it runs fine and holds revs steady with no misfires but when the throttle is closed fuel pops in the exhaust, seems like fuel is getting into the exhaust after throttle is closed. Would I be right in thinking this could be caused by a blocked air filter? Also what does the air cut of valve do? Could this be a candidate for my problem.



Regards to all and roll on the summer.

Many thanks to all for such quick responses.

Nolavox -- at the wrong side of 60 I don't think I'll be blasting down any road towards a hairpin more likely tortoising towards the nearest public convenience as my bike and I will be doing about 3 pisses to the hour I'm in the UK incidentally and just realized I'm on a US site. The advice you all give and your knowledge levels are excellent. Look forward to solving my problem, probably after severa hours of cursing

Regards

Kenny W

Well I got lucky,

I thought I had a carb strip down job and rebuild to contend with BUT found a slight leak from the front exhaust pipe where it bolts to the engine, the top stud had come away and lost its grip, a quick re tap and new studding cured the popping exhaust on overun. I could not hear this leak when the bike was outside but picked up on it when starting up indoors, however the missus does not like the new addition to the front room carpet, you never can please 'em no matter how hard you try!

I have learned a lot about the fuel side of my new old Honda though thanks to you guys, cheers to all.
