Would old oil make my 84 honda shadow run bad?
Would old oil make my honda shadow run bad it starts missing when it warms up and i've checked the coils carbs are great and running out of things to check
Checked the plugs?
Clean, shiny, not old?
Gapped correctly?
Fuel flow good?
Vent in fuel tank cap not clogged?
Fuel filter good?
Air-filter clean and not restrictive?
"OLD" Oil is never good for ANY Engine… It "breaks down" and gets polluted. Change it if it needs to be changed.
When did your engine start missing? How long have you owned it? How long since it ran right?
If your engine is WORN, it may start up o.k. Cold and degrade as it warms up.
Could even just be bad gas or fouled fuel line.
Too many variables and unknowns here. But start with fresh oil including a new Filter. ANY engine runs better with fresh oil.
I guess anything's possible, but I can't imagine how old oil could make an engine miss.
Well one, oil IS required on All motor's in order to properly operate. Two, did you change the oil son? Because even though oil is essential to all machines, oil for them is like milk for us, it's essential, but if you use it when it's past due, you're gonna have a bad time.3, yes indeed, old and or low oil levels will burn your motor pistons/inside/etc., I know, ol' scooter of mines got fried.4. Have you checked your fuel lines? Food for thought 5. Lastly, just take it to a shop and get a full tune up. 6. Refer to number 7. 8. Try an oil change, 9. You didn't realize I skipped 7. 10. You checked if 9 was true. 11. You just smiled, realizing that you have just been lightly been trolled.
Any suggestions would be great
Depends
- If i make a wire harness will it work with out pulse generator and icu on 85 1100 honda shadow? If i just make direct line from stator to rectifier to starter selonoid and coils will it be fine with out the pulse generator and the 2 icm/icu? I want to eliminate a bunchof stuff on it and i was wondering if that could go as well. It was a mess when i bought it i will figure it out if it must stay but i just need to know if it can go because it will be less of a headache if i can keep it going with out it.
- Honda Shadow Spirit 750 Across Country, Can it make it? I'm planning on taking my Honda Shadow 750 across the US for about a month, maybe even more. Making stops, camping, all that stuff. I changed my sprocket to a 38t and I just wanted to make sure it can make it that length of time and distance without problems. It has about 18,000 miles on it and I will be getting it detailed before the trip. Any advice would be great.
- Is going from synthetic oil in my '03 HOnda Hybrid to regular oil bad? Over 100K miles, always used synthetic oil. Took the car to my mechanic to have brakes checked, and he thought the oil looked dirty so he drained it and put in regular oil. Now I'm concerned about my engine. Advice please? I do not know what kind of regular oil he put in.
- Is buying a 12 year old car a bad idea? So I have 4 thousand dollars saved up and found a 07 Honda for sale with 145,000 miles.
