The pilot jets were particularly bad with one over 50% plugged. Mechanical cleaning and soaking in tarn-ex got them looking nice.

Another one! Good price from the sound of it. I've always like the look, but haven't ridden one.
This weekend I'm looking at a '82 CX500 Custom that has been sitting for years. We'll see how it looks and what he wants for it. Not my favorite, but my son may get it running and sell it - with the profits going to help pay for Engineering school next year. Going to take some big profits to put a dent in that bill...
