I will give that a try. After I turned the choke intake one and a half times, the bike would stall out when I put the choke fully in. Should I turn it a little bit more out or tighten it in a little bit more? Thanks for all your help.

If you need to choke to be engaged for your motorcycle to Idle, that's indicating you have a clogged idle jet and your choke is compensating for that and that's how it's idling off your choke. Your choke should be fully pushed in and the bike should Idle once she warms up. I would start by cleaning the Carburator idle jet and circuit. Very easy. And you will see the results. Let us know how it works out and what is this that you're working on turning the choke out or in I don't understand.

Your idle jet dictates your air fuel screw mixture. That's why there's jets for certain applications, As pipe and intake. Sorry you're gonna have to fool around with that yourself. if you go 2 turns or more, you need a bigger idol jet. I would buy the jet kit for your set up. What jets are you running BOSS?

@@TwoWheelRocco I dont know what jets that the guy i bought the bike from did....ive been talking to him and he informs me as you said to put bigger jets because he put on the Spike air filter....he gave me some 2 spare jets 1 small and 1 big.....dont know why..... he thinks i should remove the baffles and clean with brake cleaner .....he thinks would help.....i think wrapping the baffles with fibreglass cloth would increase back pressure .... im waiting to get my rpm meter from amazon and start their.....also thinking of putting back on the stock filter and get rid of the spike filter ....asfor the baffles ...i dont know yet....im buying some fuel injection cleaner tomorrow and putting the highest grade fuel too....i ve been playing with the air screw but closing it a half turn since i have a spike filter giving more air..... I FEEL LIKE IM GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES....What do you make of all this ?

What pipe are you using? Cleaning the baffle??? So I want to be clear you have a spike air intake? So it idles well but you have a flat spot coming off Idle?

@@TwoWheelRocco Yes..I got a spike filter chrome intake...the pipes have baffles in them.....idles great....starts right up.....when i drive a slow speed .....feels like it lost breath..when i accelrate....i have to give it full throttle to respond..... but the main problem is the backfiring......not as loud anymore since ive been playing with the air screw and rpm knob.....im thinkin of putting a big hole washer in the back pipes to create more back pressure...... ive done everything to this bike so far....cleaned and changed everything....almost runs perfect.....but im starting to think buying cool stuff for a bike like fancy pipes with baffles and spike intakes....makes me think its impossible to make it run normal....even with new jet kit....how do you know what jet kit to put ....larger or smaller......i dont know anymore......gonna go put some fuel injection cleaner in it today....just for fun....

I would put back the OEM stock air breather and see if that makes a difference. On my 2006 VTX the baffles could not be removed. Sound like they are not stock Honda slip ons. on your pipe. The custom spike are problematic if not matched with jet kit and pipe. Think about a Dyna jet kit for your bike. This will clear up your problems. First see if OEM air intake makes a noticeable difference. That will tell me you will need to move your slide needle up. This can be done by using carb washer under slide needle. This controls off idle response to mid range. Let us know how this works out.

You must use a D bit for that carb...picclick.com/Motion-Pro-08-0242-Replacement-D-Shaped-Bit-231220211793.html...Thats what it looks like..I got mine on Ebay....Hope this helps...Let me know how it works out...

Happy to help They are manual chokes ,clean the carburetor l most times the idle jet is clogged easy fix.let the gas run and fuel flow through it the system is empty when you take the carburetor apart and then she will idle fine.

Thx for your reply. There is deceleration backfire and popping which I detest. Gives the impression of a poorly tuned motorbike and at age 72 it startles me. The 2003 VTX has a fuel pump and a filter and the fuel line just feeds in to it. The later models that is 2004 plus have vacuum operated petcocks. The blocking plates came in today so I'll install them. Once again thank you for your advise. Stay safe and all the best.

@@davidutarid712 yes you are right on the 2003 VTX 1300's. What pipe and air filter are you running? The poping is air from that pair system block it off and see if it makes a difference. Let us know how it works out but I agree that is a terrible sound that popping. Thank you for watching and your sub David. Ride safe and have a great day. But the problem definitely lies in that pair set up.

It has the original/stock pipes and air filter. I did plug the PAIR inlet in the air box and drove around for a week or so. It eliminated all backfiring and popping . Waiting for a rainy miserable day and the block off plates will go in. Going to run a vacuum tube from the air cut off valve to the manifold but instructions provided with the Barron block off plates suggests to cap the nozzle of the air cut off valve which was controlling the pair valve. Thanks for time.

Hello Ryan, Where in South Florida?

Shane, my 05 has done that since I bought it used 9 years ago. Previous owner drilled holes in the baffels, therefor the back pressure is not what the carb is set up for. You can always check out VTXCAFE.com for more help also. Good luck!

@@TheGreesmunke Well I just found out last night that it has Hard Krome straight pipes on it. I've checked with vtxcafe, but get so many opinions and requests for me to do scar and pair valve delete, among other modifications. I'm considering the Factory Pro jet kit, but not sure if that will actually fix my backfire, popping, and literal flames coming out the back of exhausts. It's extremely obnoxious when riding. Maybe Rocco will have some insight.

Happy to help, you will need to check what jets you are running in this carburetor. and how many turns the air fuel screw is out. Let us know and we will have a better idea of what's going on with your carburetor. Thank you for watching and your sub Shame. Ride safe and have a great day.

@@TwoWheelRocco Jets in the carb are factory and the air fuel screw has never been touched, so it's still at factory setting (not sure exactly what Honda sets it at)

Your pipes and air intake calls for bigger jets to get the job done. You need bigger jets when running straight pipes. You can never take for granted that is the stock set up in a 17 year old bike. Let us know, clean the jet and check jet size in that carburetor. Then we can make some decisions.

How did it run when you first clean carburetor?

Idle was a bit better. I found a video specific to the 1300 explaining the idle adjustment and the A/F adjustment as well. Going to give it shot when I get home tonight and I'll update shortly. Thanks!

Alrighty sir, so I'm attaching a link to the idle of my VTX. Raised the idle this morning since it went down since I did it yesterday. Is that supposed to change? Also, while its idling, its sputtering. Do I need to adjust the A/F in a different way? Messed with it about 20 minutes this morning trying to find different settings and still couldn't find the sweet spot. Also, the thing only starts well with choke on.
