2001 honda shadow vlx 600 idles fine will not take any acceleration. I have cleaned the carb numerous times changed fuel, float valve and checked float for leaks any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

How did you check the petcock? sure its not that.Yeah swap coil packs then ask again.

Either a carb float is stuck open or some trash is holding the float needle open. Remove the float bowl and use spray carb cleaner to remove any trash, or varnish, ( from evaporated fuel ).

clean air filter fuel filter and fuel tank and lines. Then the varb needs to have the bowl removed to allow the float to be removed,(carefull to not loose fuel needlle or retaining spring.)The jet and orfaces should be cleaned (when the jet is removed be sure the seat for jet goes back the same way....the seat and jet have a rounded shape that fits closely together, not round and flat together.)Ok so be sure not to adjust anything, just clean it and put it back together.Using carb cleaner is the best, you should have mot of the can leftover.Dont let it get on anything (except the carburetor) it will ruin paint and the finish on your engine if you let it!

vac leak craked boots

keep eye on filter you may still have some rust in system

use a thin piece of wire and clean the ilde port and transfer port if that doesn't clear it up check idle jet

Check fuel pump. You might have a bad diaphragm.

Most likely your high speed needle valve seat has dirt in it. Try removeing the bowl and cleaning the Main Jet.
