  • Help:Honda shine : Issue on startup with Accelerator

    Hello All,

    I have been using my Honda shine from about 9 months. I got the below problem about a month back.

    From about a month, when ever I start my bike, it hardly move forward on 1st and 2nd gear or it will stop. What I have observed is Suppose if we can divide the accelerator range in to 10 equal parts and I move the accelerator to position 1,2 the engine raises and if I move to 3, engine slows down and stops. The engine raises again from 3rd position.I mean to say it is been very difficult for me to start the bike and move on. it takes at least 20 to 30 min to have smooth movement.

    Couple of days back, I have given the bike for servicing in HONDA showroom and mentioned the issue. They did not solve it. During the delivery I aurgued and they felt like they are giving out their money from their pocket. Finally they simply increased the RPM of bike, due to which now the bike is making a little more noise.

    Today, I showed to a local mechanic and he opened something under the battery area, and taken out 50ml of petrol from it to check for dust, He said that there was some water in it and told that there is possibility of dust in carburator. Should I let him open it tomorrow?

    Additional info on my usage
    --I used the same petrol bunk for first 6 months and recently switched to other, which increased my mileage a little.
    --I do have a habbit of using the Self start in early morning with Choke on. Now the problem description
    --I will drive in city, that too will ride in max 60 speed.
    --I had it serviced all the 3 times in Honda showroom.

      Here is the update on today.

      I went back to Honda showroom and showed him the bike again. He corrected the clutch, as it was a little loose.Also asked me to get the bike on Monday, so that He can see that issue and look at my bike on tuesday morning.

      Any additional inputs/suggestions on my issue would be really helpful.

        If possible, be present there at the time of service and ask the SC guy to do the work in front of you.There are several factors which can lead to improper acceleration.Get the following things done on your bike,

        1)Check the air filter,if its clogged,get it cleaned.
        2)Clean the carburetter and set the correct A/F ratio.
        3)Set the recommended engine idling rpm.
        4)Correct free play of clutch.
        5)correct free play of throttle cable as well as get it lubed.

            Update 2: I went to honda showroom again, the service guy opened the carburator and cleaned it. He said there is water in it. The bike was not on for about an hour during the service and it did not gave me any trouble. Hoping for the best as of now. Will keep you posted in case of issues.

            Thank you for helping me out..

            No, even if I try starting the bike for first time in Afternoon, the same problem continues.

            @Drifty: Will try to follow your suggestions, if the problem still persists.

            Question: How did water go in to carburator and fuel tank? Do I have to take some extra precautions?

              Many times,when you wash the bike,water seeps in through the tank lock or when the rubber lining on the tank lock is not properly fitted.In some cases,water may get inside the carb through the air filter passage too.
