New owner of a 2005 xl1200c. I couldnt resist the deal, but I should have known there were going to be problems. Its not idling well and wont at all unless choked. I pulled the carb and cleaned everything (even though I didn't find anything dirty), because I knew it had been sitting for a while. It actually runs worse now and dies when throttle is applied. What did I do? I have read to look for intake leaks and change vacuum hoses and intake gaskets. Can anyone else think of anything I need to check?
