There are a couple of different things that can cause this. On older and newer cars, it can be a worn or weak fule pump. The pump puts out enough gas while the car is idleing, but doesn't put out enough gas for the increased consumption when it is in gear. It could also be caused by the screen in the fuel tank being clogged or dirty, not allowing the gas to flow freely. The same for the fuel filter, an inline or carburetor filter could in need of a change. On newer cars, there could be an inline filter but there is also a filter in the gas tank. Also on cars with fuel injection, the jets could be dirty. There are also sensors on the newer cars that can cause this. They are the MAPP sensor and the O2 sensor.

Try the rotor(under the cap). mine was burn't, talk about shake rattle and roll I've had 3 Nissan pu's greg also, check your vacume lines. Even one can cause sputter. There is a wire coming out of the bottom of your distribitur. if it gets frayed, it can have the same result.

Where is neutral on a Honda gold wing?

On a Honda Gold Wing, neutral is typically located between first and second gear. To shift into neutral, you can use the foot shifter while the bike is at a complete stop, pressing down from first gear or lifting slightly from second gear. Some models also have a neutral indicator light on the dashboard to confirm when the bike is in neutral. Always ensure the bike is stationary before attempting to shift into neutral for safety.
