I thought I would post this just in case someone else had the same problem and was contemplating the same fix. I have owned my ?95 1100 for three years now and it has always been a little cold blooded. Last year the bike sat for about a month or so and the problem got significantly worse. It wouldn?t run unless the choke was on and it had a severe stumble going from idle to mid-range. The first thing that was suspect was the low speed jets. Ran out of time last fall, so I stored it with stable in the gas and tried again this spring. Even worse. Tried the Seafoam for a tank of fuel, but that didn?t get it.
So I pulled the carbs out and sure enough all of the low speed idle jets were completely plugged. I couldn?t blow or see through them. I disassembled each carb and dropped the high speed and the low speed jet into a small lid of carb cleaner. After about 2 minutes, I used compressed air and blew them out. They were perfectly clear. I could blow through them and using a proper light see through that small hole. Put it back together and it solved the problem 100%. Idled perfect and didn?t have any stumble while transitioning from idle to mid-range.
If you are having the same issue and need some more input, let me know. There are a few little bits of info that would of made the job easier the second time around.
