Face Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Ok so here is the deal: I went riding on Monday and shee ran great, strong as ever. Tuesday I gave her a bath and thats when the problem started. removed both K&N filters, stuffed plastic bags in the carbs and washed it down good. I started it to put it back in the garage and it ran ok up the street and back but then I killed it and let it sit for like 5 min, tried to restart it and only yhe left side was putting out any exhaust. What have I done? I havnt tried to start it since, and it was still wet at the time. did I screw it up or what?? I had a compression test done like 2 months ago and it was at about 144 in both sides, I havnt done one since. Any info would be great.

dajogejr Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Did you let it warm up before you went for a rip? First, put new plugs in. Second, remove and drain the carbs/clean them if necessary Third...let it dry out, possible wire wet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plugs were new Monday (changed before my ride) Havnt cleaned carbs or filters yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 oops I was thinking maybe my plug wire had come undone from when I changed the plugs Monday. Ill have to check some of this stuff later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcard2 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 oops sorry the above was me i thought i was logged on as me haha. Just a thought though mine was acting the same way labor day weekend i thought she was finally done. we were messing with her the other day and noticed that the carb cap had come un done and she was sucking air. something to look at maybe.

T_Shee Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 im wondering if the cable didnt somehow disconnect from the slide. its a longshot but for it to not have much exhaust out one side seems like its not getting air. im sure you woulda noticed the slide not moving though. maybe a broken reed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
