Thank you all for answering my question about the cylinder side thingamabobs. Lol I can easily acquire them from the Honda Dealer up here in NW OHIO. I have another issue though. I am in the process of doing some well over due maintenance on my nh,and during the course of my work,I opened the air box up in preparation to replace the air element,and I once again found about an ounce of oil in the bottom of the air box. This is the second time I have encountered this phenomenon. The engine was leaking oil from the valve cover gasket that I am in the process of changing,but the engine never leaked enough oil to cause this,and while I was riding it I kept the top of the engine clean. My understanding is that there are two lines that go from the air box to the crankcase,is it possible that a loss of vacuum in the carbs (the carbs have never been cleaned that I'm aware of before I bought it)could be causing it? The bike has two nickel sized holes in the mufflers and the engine has a terrible hesitation going on at low power,once you give it gas she takes off,but at idle or low power,the bike seems like it is always on the verge of stalling out. I don't want to do any guessing,but I'm wondering if the old girl might have bad rings,or something else going on. Can you guys give me a clue what's going on? The engine has 42,000 on it and has never been overhauled. Thanks Ray Gomez Grand Rapids,Ohio Ps,I'm getting ready to tear carbs off for cleaning,there is no oil in the barrels/intakes and she's running very rich as well.
