Gumball12 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Pulling my hair out and don't know if I should be concerned or not. Left plug looks slightly richer than the other. Bike runs great,passed three leak down tests, new pipes no leaks, new carbs and I have switched them from side to side with same result, new coil also tried switching plug wires with same results, newer reeds, carbs are in sync at idle and higher rpms, carbs open all the way, did it on a couple pairs of plugs to check. etc. what to look at next? Thanks 35mm pwk jets are the same, so are needles New pods Vforce 4 could I have messed them up that quick? They were on old motor 2 months before install 421 serval Driveline domes (165 and 166 on snap on guage) .44 squish on both sides Shearer in sb 50/50 vp110 and pump 93 Castor 927 32:1 Sea level 95 degrees Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nastyracing Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Check your float heights on the carbs. Even tho they are brand new they could be different heights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Look at reeds. Check for any gaps between peddles and cage. Frayed edges... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdgriff Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Carbs synced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball12 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Carbs synced? Carbs are synced and the problem does not follow the carbs. I have switched them and the problem remains on the same cyclinder. I will be checking the reeds the reeds next. Although they are fairly new....who knows.

Gumball12 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 How much if any gap should be on reeds? If I touch them two pedals on suspect side push Dow but fraction of a mm Compression is 165 and 166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumball12 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 They should be tight to cageThat's what I thought. I will order new and hope it works out. Any other ideas are apresiated though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other ideas are apresiated though if you call and bitch, they are likely to send a replacement peddle free of charge if it indeed is defected.. They are pretty good about that. Just will be more down time being you'll have to ship them yours for inspection first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdgriff Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Running pods? If so, one filter have a hole in it? One filter dirty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjayb Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Reed petals are slightly curved. If installed the wrong way there is a very slight gap. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumball12 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Running pods? If so, one filter have a hole in it? One filter dirty? I am running pods. They are brand-new with outerwear. I will double check them. I got new reeds installed last night. Hopefully that solves the problem. I also pulled the head to look at wash. Everything looked good and even, maybe a little rich but even. Rechecked compression on my snap on, 164-165. Leak down head 6psi for over an hour (used a Mac air gauge this time around). With the even wash maybe the direction the plug strap is facing has a little something to do with what I am seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
