I have a 1980 Honda Gold Wing GL1100I, and I will try to describe this as best I can, as it has me quite puzzled.
I downshifted to 3rd gear last night to pass a car, wound 3rd out, shifted to 4th,etc. When I settled back to the speed limit in 5th gear, I was running on only 3 cylinders. If I open the throttle more than halfway, the skip disappears. I went out this morning and drained the bowls on the carbs, thinking that there may be some water in them. I took it down the road[still skipping] and ran it hard for about 4 miles. After that, the skip was gone, aside from an occasional sputter. About 30 miles into riding it today, I did the same thing to pass a car, and the same thing happened again. I rode it at highway speed at high rpms again for a couple miles, and it went away again. It seems that if I ride it very gently, everything is fine. If I'm riding along on highway speed, pull the choke out long enough for the engine to sputter badly and release the choke, the skip will also go away for about 3 seconds.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
