I have a 2003 Honda CRF230F that I let sit for over two years ( stored inside a shed ) and let the battery and gas go bad. I bought a new battery and drained the gas from the tank and bowl of the carborator but couldnt get it started so I took the carborator apart and found small particles clogging various parts inside it. Got it back together and now it runs but it hesitates during acceleration and pops when you let off the gas. It use to not do that. Where are the fuel mixture adjustments and how do I set it back up correctly?.....Bill Newsome.....Lancaster,SC

On the bottom of the carb there is a brass plug that will need to be drilled out and the air fuel mixture screw needs to be removed and cleaned. be sure to turn it in all the way and count the turns to put it back to factory settings. make sure when you turn it in that you only turn it until it bottoms out dont turn it to hard as you can damage the needle. There is a small washer and an o-ring in there as well as the spring dont loose these when cleaning or disassembling the needle. I hope this helps. the air fuel mixture can be adjusted there also by turning it in or out a 1/4 turn at a time till it runs right. You will just have to play with it unless you have a EGA Machine.

Car has been sitting up for two year. Bought new

put good gas in it, high octane to compensate for the old gas in it, and if it still doesnt start make sure its getting gas, if so look to plugs, wires and rotor and cap, gas generally goes bad after about 6 months with no stabilizers in it

I just bought a 1982 honda goldwing that has been sitting for 1 year. It has a new battery and head. It wouldn't fire at all and I adjusted the valves and it runs but only on one side. What could it be?

Sitting would most likely be bad gas in a carburator. Verify that the spark is good, look for mouse nests in the air box, and make sure the carburators are not gummed up with old gas....assuming that it didn't run good before the valve adjustment.

2003 honda crf230f will not start.bike worked fine last fall.i put a new spark plug in it,cleaned the carburater,cleaned the air filter & changed the oil.it seems to have good spark but just keeps cranking...

IF you have a battery get a new one ; put in new gas ; super; dsid you ajest any screws on carb. You tight need to run a prime tank right to your carb to prime it; and then hook your tank backup new gas lines to your carb. Now break out with the WD40 to spray all switches for rust.
