I paid $100 for the bike in 1995. I took it apart and cleaned it five times,
but it continued sticking. Ther are a multitude of other problems with the
bike, so I simply put it aside.

I'm planning to part it out on ebay, so if anyone needs parts for a 1981
CB650 custom, let me know.

I bought a Honda CB650 ten years ago. I stopped riding it three years ago
when the float valve stuck and it poured a gallon of gasonline on my leg
on the way to work.

Wouldn't it have been easier, simpler, and more sensible to simply fix the
float valve?
