Well...I suppose you could call it that, but by definition, an air pump cannot
cavitate. Now you may be getting an air bubble in that fuel line, but that
seems really unlikely and defies simple physics. Unless, of course, there is a
restriction like a second (or third, depending on what we

Seen you on the pages for a long time. And don't want to throw doubt on
what you said. But isn't the whole engine a big air pump?

Hi Holger, my son took a Beginner's class later in the month. Maybe the
16th or the 23rd. At present I got the blue bike torn down. Need to do the

A thought: When reinstalling the petcock after cleaning the tank/tube
filter, it's critical to keep the mesh filter as straight as possible as
you fit it into the tank. This means holding the petcock body securely
with one hand and oriented to its final position as you tighten the

Wow!! Same month, same place, that’s crazy! I took the intermediate class but
flunked it. Then took the beginner’s class with the daughter and they
graciously let me pass that one. Daughter and I earned the same score they said.
Getting back to it after 35 years - that earns my respect!!

Hi Harold,
Funny, didn’t know we had someone on this list so close here. That blue bike of
yours is much nicer than what I have, or gave our daughter. You’ve seen my
postings here for less than a year. June last year my daughter and I took the
beginner’s class - in Oregon City. The daughter
Going to take the second fuel fuel filter out and make it a straight down
shot to the carbs. I seen all kinds of posts where everybody is tearing
their carbs apart. And as for the screen inside the tank I replaced my
petcock just before starting to ride it last summer. Even had an issue with
the
Check your petcock screen. That should be the only filter if your bike is
still stock. If you are handy enough, look at the free to download honda
factory service manuals and clean out the jets in carbs.

Before the filter I was able to get it up to 85 miles per hour. Now at 70
miles per hour sustained it seems like the engine just slowly dies. I let
it sit and cool, and after I take off I can go 60-65 all day long until I
take it up to the 70 mark

I've been following you for the last year or two Holger. Like you I'm
giving my bike to my child. I have a 23 year old son. Was going to give him
the blue bike but I just got to give him the best I got. I work in Oregon
City doing apartment maintenance directly behind the Oregon City grocery

My apologies I meant second fuel filter. And what I believe my problem
right now is cavitation. The bike in my picture is a 1984 650. Got a blue
1985 being torn down on my back porch. Right Zippy engine but need rear
brakes and seals as well as a left bottom side plate that seems to have a
leak.
Nice looking rig Herold. What year is that bike?

The easiest way to check the gas cap vent is to just pop open the gas cap
and go for a ride (be careful of spills/splashes and maybe not try this
with a full tank.) The vent is there to allow air to enter the tank as it
empties to keep the pressure equalized, if it gets clogged the vacuum

Could be holger, damn things seam to be quite finicky compared to gravity

I should add her petcock is leaking (again). I had rebuilt it, but only the
vacuum side. Next I will replace the round gasket in the other side. Maybe it’s
the petcock after all.

Makes sense. But it's weird that it only started happening this year. And
only seems to happen at a lower fuel level

Very nice! If your petcock filter (tube screen) is intact and in good
order, tank is clean, you shouldn't need an inline filter. Any more
filtering restricts fuel flow. They didn't come with one from factory

I had the in line fuel filter in since ever and haven't had an issue. I
thought about the gas cap being an issue but I'm not sure where or how to
check that

I got everything back together. She's beautiful. Blinkers work swinginly.
Starts right up with barely any choke. Carbs all synced.
However, now she loses fuel for some reason. The fuel randomly stops flowing. I
rebuilt the petcock thinking that was the issue. Sadly this
