I have a 1982 Honda GW. Gas has accumulated inside. The starter went. Do I have to get the gas out before it hydolocks? My email is [email protected]

They are under the fake gas take bolted to the frame. Just follow the spark plug wires to the coils.

Check the timing sounds like its more of same problem mine had at one time

I'm no expert on motorcycles, but here is where I would start. Take the line loose where it goes in carb. Spin the starter few whirls. Do you get any gas there. If not, maybe there is blockage between pump and tank. If you get gas there, check the needle in the carb. If its stuck then no fuel will get into the carb. good luck.

you may have a frozen fuel line. fuel not reaching engine. put some dry gas in it to displace moisture in fuel system. the reason why it quit when pushing pedal is, its starving for fuel. have a good day !!

There could be a fuse,Just check them all.Also these models have some contact issues with the harness,Inside your fake gas tank there are several wire connectors,(disconnect the battery before open them up) clean them to remove corrosion & treat with dielectric grease to protect them from loosing contact.Hook it all back up and see if it will work for you again.(thats what it took for mine)

A stuck float valve will cause gasoline to flow freely from the overflow tube. This happens when even the slightest bit of dirt or fuel varnish collects on the float valve seat. Sometimes you can cure this by draining the fuel (and accumulated debris) from the float bowl using the drain screw. If the problem persists, a carburetor rebuild will be needed. Also, check the inside of the gas tank for evidence of rust.

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.

Hi

there is too much gas accumulated at the plug.Remove the the plug ,turn the switch at off position and opperate the starter for few times until the cilinder has no gas inside.Try to start the engine.
