Try new spark plug caps. The resisters often burn out and cause poor running off idle. On some models the caps are part of the wire and are replaced as an assembly out of the coil. To save money use genuine NGK spark plug caps (about $5 each). They simply screw on to the end of the wire. If the cap reads higher or lower than 5000 OHM's it should be replaced. The copper core spark plug wire can be purchased in bulk for $1 to $2 a foot. It can be cut to length and used as an inexpensive replacement for the stock Honda wire/cap assemblies that sell for $25 to $45 each.

My 1993 honda shadow vt 600 is leaking fuel out of the upper tailpipe what should i do

This is possible, but if the bike isn't bucking then a misfire is unlikely and you just have a leaky carburetor issue.

I just bought a 2003 Honda shadow 600 deluxe. they said all it needed was a battery. I put in a battery and it fired right up but only ran for 7 or 8 seconds and was hard to start again. After some...

It sounds like time to clean the carburetors. Just for fun, remove the screw on the side of the carb float bowl. Is gas even getting into the carbs? Check the fuel valve on the tank. Is gas flowing freely when the valve is open? I would install a set of new spark plugs and add an in-line fuel filter also.

95 VT600 DLX spark plugs foul after about 200 - 300 miles in rear cylinder

If they are black when you pull them out with oil on you them probably need new rings or its possible that the engine is running rich and fouling the plugs and needs carbs adjusted.

1984 VT 500 C Shadow: 1983 honda shadow -starts and runs, seems to miss ...

The fuel filter is in the tank on the petcock and is self cleaning. I suspect you have bad spark plug caps on your bike the cap is part of the wire. If you remove the wire and take a reading with an ohm meter, the cap should read 5000 ohms . Anything above or below and you should replace the cap. This is probably causing the slight miss.
