Most of these kids are hating on harley because its trendy

I've purchased a Honda CX500, and been working it for about a month ish now. Only problem was the throttle lagged, which I tried to fix by cleaning pilot valve. I also took the tank off because there was bad gas in it, but it ran fine otherwise before that. Cleaned that tank, new gas, fuel line, and carb clean with the float bowl off. (Prev owner JB welded it) Went to start it up, and would only go with choke fully in. After a bit of starter fluid, it would run consistently, but due as soon as the throttle was hit. Then I stupidly messed with the mixture screws thinking that would fix it, now it won't start at all. I realize my mistakes, but I don't know what is causing all of this. I've been doing looking and a buddy of mine says it's a air leak somewhere, which I have to find by just spraying starter until it starts, ergo finding the leak. I've never posted on here, but I know there's far reach here, so hopefully I can get some help. I'm using non ethanol gas btw.

>the throttle lagged
I haven't looked at the spec sheet but if the CX500 used CV type carburetors then lagging throttle is usually the slide diaphragm rubbers being old and hardened. Replacement is cheap and easy but a tedious job and kind of easy to scrub if you're ham fisted because the rubber is delicate when new.
Now, to get your bike running again, you're going to want to rebuild the carburetor back to factory spec and for guidance on that, use a Honda factory service manual, one for a bike as old as yours should be easily found online for free.

>you're going to want to rebuild the carburetor back to factory spec and for guidance on that, use a Honda factory service manual

^THIS.
Your options are:
1. Save yourself months of headache, and take the carb to a pro for rebuilding
2. Purchase rebuild kit and attempt it yourself

I'd be willing to bet that the Mixture screw needles, seats and gaskets, that sat for 40 years unmoved, were damaged and idle circuits became blocked as a result.

I could be wrong but a rebuild is your best bet, imho.

hey /o/ so im going through a midlife crisis after a lot of consecutively bad things have happened in my life.

after driving an sensible econobox for decades im looking for a car to give me a little joy in life that has aura and presence.

I don’t mind if this is a project car. I want something that looks cool, that I can maybe get for a good price and that I can work on. I will still drive my econobox to work but want this to be a cool car for going out.

I’m thinking an older MB a 560SL, an BMW 850CI, MB 380SL, some Porsche? Open to any type of older cool car.

>old school e300 with unkillable om606 engine
>w214 (the classic)
>1st gen slk
In Europe, used, they're about 3k€ if that goes into your budget. No idea about the price in the US
If you like Audi, the 1st gen TT or the old school A4/A6 are more sober but still excellent to drive.
I'd also suggest you take a look at some old Jaguars..... they aged like wine

Recommendation says to get timing belt changed every 7 years or every 100,000km

Now I've had my car 9 years and got it done maybe after 6months of owning it.

Do I really need to get it down if I've only driven it 20,000km since then?
>>
>>29018920
Idk what you're trying to say but if the question is if you have to change the timing belt solely due to time the answer is yes, even if the car was parked the entire 7 years. Rubber gets hard and brittle over time regardless of use.

Polishing by hand is safest. Turtle Wax polish is fine.

Since you seem new to this, some definitions:

Rubbing Compound: A harsh abrasive meant to scour through rough imperfections.
Polish: A fine abrasive meant to take away fine imperfections and leave a mirror-like finish
Wax: A coating on top that can protect the paint/clearcoat and give a shine of its own.

Compound and polish act to wear away your paint/clearcoat. You don't "apply" them to the surface, you rub with them to take off the roughness and bring it down to smooth, and smooth is what gives you the reflections. You should stay away from compound due to its ability to really cut through paint. Unless you have a Ferrari there's should be enough paint/clearcoat for decades of reasonable polishing.

For a finisher I use Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions ceramic. It's just spray on and wipe off, unlike waxing which takes work to buff off.

BMW bikes are cool, they're like Euro Honda, they have so many different and iconic models like the Flying Brick similar to the K1600 you mention but every bike I've owned has been Honda and I wrench on my own bikes so all my tools and experience is working on Hondas.

I don't understand the 'gotta get there!!!11!' mentality of some drivers. The ones zipping in and out of 3-4 lanes in bumper to bumper, who usually end up falling behind because of the caterpillar effect they become victim to as someone 1000ft in front of them caused doing the same nonsense.

I’ll redline from one light to the next. Everyone around says “what a retard, he’s not saving time,” but I was having a blast and they weren’t.
