Same problem with my 91' Jimmy. I put it in the shop and it was the timing. Can be very cheap if you can do it out yourself, or put it in the shop and it will run you about $130-150 including labor.

86 Honda shadow will fire but won't stay running when it does it idols rough and backfires a lot removed the carbs and cleaned them but still have the problem any ideas about how to get it to run?

your plugs may be fouled. pull them and check for carbon buid-up, discoloration, etc. you may be able to clean them and adjust the gap. also, very much sounds like a timing problem. the timing could be off just enough to permit the bike to start but will not accept throttle, idles rough, & small back-fires through the carbs. hope this helps
