Hello everyone!
We got a 1986 C90 for my wife to use commuting through Manchester. The Cub will be more economical and quicker than the Passat, and I get to use the Passat which is more economical and quicker than my S1 Land Rover!
The bike has done 13000 miles and has been sat doing nothing for quite a few years.
It seems like there is a carb blockage as it won't idle and is lumpy with the throttle open as well.
I've tried stripping, cleaning and rebuilding with no luck.
Can anyone recommend a carb rebuilder who can also do an ultrasonic clean?

Welcome to the club, did you check the filter under the float bowl when you cleaned it ? I bought a £13.95 carb for my bike and it worked out of the box I used the genuine Honda Needle and top cap as it was easier than changing it .

Ride it!
That's the only advice I can give.
My own Cub had been stood for some time when I got it, plus the previous owner had installed a replacement £0-from-ebay Chinese carb on it.
It displayed the same symptoms as yours. One piece of advice I was given was simply to ride it, a lot and it would settle down to working with some kind of normality.
I did, and it did.

I've got hold of the carb. It's only taken me 2hrs to strip clean and unblock the jets

Hub thinks I'm some sort of peculiar person sitting here enjoying a 'how to clean your carb' video instead of the film.
