Hey peoples, I have a Honda CB550 with a straight-4 and 4 carbs. It will start and run if you twist the throttle but as soon as you let it go to idle it will die immediately like it's been switched off. When it's running at higher revs the rpm wanders all over - I can keep my hand steady on the throttle and it will go from very low idle speeds all the way up to like 5'000rpm all by itself, and then come back down randomly. It's been sitting for about a year and I'm thinking the carbs are dirty and need to have a gas bath and a good brushing. Anybody know if it could be something else based on these symptoms?
