Actually, I went by and saw the bike, took pics/video as well. It's
in good shape, no leaks, very minor scrathes, small scrape under left
front casting. Only thing not on are the rear signals, but they have
them. (And yep, he's still in the picture, both were there at the
time).

Tad expensive, I've used Odyessy's and have good luck/longevity. Plus

I have cleaned the carbs on a 454 and the bike runs great - when I can
get it started. No matter what the temperature is (at least so far
this winter) I have to spray a real small shot of starting fluid into
each air cleaner intake to get the bike started. It won't take any
choke. In fact the
There's a 1984 Honda Shadow in this area I'd like to look at but the
starter motor needs replacing. The owner says it's not easy to get at
- remove the fly wheel which maybe behind the clutch slave cylinder.
Anyone familiar with the bike and know what's involved in removing the
starter? Graham
My guess would be the enrichment valves are clogged shut.

+1 on enrichener circuit. Or a vacuum leak maybe.
Gravity-fed or fuel pump?

I had two sets of carbs to work with and I cleaned them both
thoroughly , including all passage ways and jets - no enrichment
valves on this bike. The choke really is a choke. I tried both
sets of carbs and the results were the same. Graham

That makes sense because it seems more a time related issue than
temperature but there's no sign of leaking gas, Graham

It might have o-rings in the intake manifold that seals to the heads. Suzuki
does that, and when they crack you get a bad vacuum leak before the carb. I'd
try spraying carb cleaner around the whole intake system while its running and
listen for any rpm changes.

No, it's not like Suzukis and I've tried that - no vacuum leaks.
It's a bit of a mystery isn't it, Graham

You threw me a curve with using two sets of carbs. If you use your hand to

Hmmm, since ether is more explosive that gas it can help to start a lean or
rich mixture, but still sounds like is not getting enough gas. Since it starts
when warm then it can't be too rich, if it was too rich it would be hard
starting when hot. How does the choke work on that bike is it in
True compression goes up when the engine gets hot.

I'll check that but I don't think it would idle so well and so low if
it had a compression problem besides it has great power

Good read, I'm thinking the problem may be outside the carbs, Graham

I think it might be the battery is a little week. Try to start with a charger
hooked to it. It might not have enough juice for the coils to work.
