carb problems i think

 I have a 1981 honda cb 650 costum,it idles fine but when you go down
the road it cuts out real bad around 3500 rpms. It ran fine last
summer but this morning it went south. does any-one out there have a
recommendation on a home fix for this problem?

As for the OP, did you happen to drain the gas out of your carbs before
letting the bike sit for 6 months? If not, they're almost certainly
plugged, and you're going to have to clean them out. You might try the
Yamaha or seafoam cleaner that you fill the carb bowl with, let sit for
30 minutes, and flush out, but more likely it's going to require pulling
the carbs, disassembling them, and thoroughly cleaning them. This
procedure has been posted on this list _many_ times, so search the group
archives (e.g. via a google-groups advanced search) for details.

'indiana' is a 'nolnn' and 'hoosier' is a 'solkk'. Indiana doesn't solkk.
