the reason the 500cc silver wings felt under powered is that they were suposed to be run with a turbo, but the 3rd party company that was suposed to supply the turbo never came through, so honda ran with the non turbos... so if you have one you could make it what it was suposed to be with a turbo k

Next time you buy gas divide the number of miles ridden by the number of gallons purchased. That's your mileage, multiply that by the number of gallons your tank holds and that's your range. On these bikes 100miles on the trip is a good time to start looking for gas stations. Hard to look cool push

Yes, but when the previous owner doesn't even remember approximately how many miles he got on a tank it's a little hard on where to start. I do agree using the trip as a guage is good but as you said " I'd rather have two methods of checking my fuel level than one.." Thank you, Christopher Ló

I'll take a stab at the gas sending unit. Basically there is a float and if it has a hole in it then it will fill up and not float. Also they work by sliding a plate over a coil of wire that is progressively wound closer. As the plate slides from closely wound wire to sparsely wound wire the resist

the drain pipes, one at the bottom of each carb are overflow. They originally had 12 -18 inch tubes that ran to the back of the motor and down (to drain). More importantly, one leaking fuel probably means a float is sticking. Try tapping that carb bowl with a screw driver. If that doesn't
