The Patient: 1980 Honda CB 900 C, stock except for Jardine 4 into 2 headers, being restored after 3 years abandoned in garage. 30,000 miles total.

Condition and Treatment so far: Carbs replaced with overhauled unit by reliable shop, and synced to bike. (Original carbs were cleaned, but still popped as noted below; were never tested at high rpm.) Jets stock at 105, running in Houston Texas at sea level and 80 degrees F. Compression all excellent. Valve clearances all within specified tolerances. New plugs D9EA (recommended). Plug wires checked for 100% continuity. New battery: Alternator output 12 amps at 14.5volts, battery voltage at 12, coil voltage at 11.2, Pulsar gap to .016, static time checked Ok. Waiting on new timing light for dynamic timing. (Note: Pulsar was gapped with metalic gauge, although not magnetic.)

She runs fine except:

Problems: #1 When no accelerating (ie. loafing along, not much load on engine or backing down) get popping on right side Jardine, some times a lot of popping. Not full backfire, but a lot of popping.

#2- Main problem: On opening her up, whether off the line, or on the highway, at 7500 rpm, power just quits. Will not go above 8000. Can sneak up on 8000 at less than full open throttle, but then same problem and will not go above 8200. Pulling on some choke makes no difference. Ran at 6500 for 2 minutes -- lots of popping on right side-- shut down and pulled 1 and 4 plugs immediately. Very light beige color, with a touch of pink(?). Absolutely no oil or soot or black. Possibly too lean due to Jardine headers??? Would that cause these symptoms?

Diagnosis?

I have been with my husband for 8 years since i was 14 years old we have to young beautiful boys together. He thinks about himself so much and seems to put hisself before me or the boys. My husband VOLUNTARILY chose to work out of town for two weeks. My LAST two weeks of school when i have my finals. Some how im suppose to take care of my kids by myself and find time to study and pass my finals. I do really well in college and its not to hard but the extra help would be nice. When he told me he was going i told him " i really would like for you not to go, but if that is what YOU WANT to do than you should." I want to be so angry with him but part of me feels like its my fault for letting him make the decision hisself. But if i had just told him flat out no it would have been even worse. I often find myself staying with him for the kids i do love him but they mean more to me than that. What should i do ?

The other day I was at Walmart, and I was pushing a cart into Walmart. I was going from the cross walk to go in the doors, when all of the sudden my cart came to a dead stop, and my son who was on the back of the cart flew off, my daughter was inside the cart and jerked back. All because the the sidewalk was cracked and raised. I went to a manager and they wouldn't even take a report. Could they be held responsible?

I am no expert, but I believe it has a lot to do with the arbitrary partitioning of the Ottoman empire after it collapsed. Instead of dividing the countries along cultural and religious boundaries, some western fool just drew lines in the sand. This caused a lot of internal problems that were blamed on the great Satan, aka the West.

I would also say Israel might have a lot to do with it.

Anyone know a good answer? Please don't blame the current President, these problems are much older than his term in office.
