J-Madd Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Not likely electrical if the problem didn't follow the plug wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziegman Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Make sure the slides are not in backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duneman101 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Make sure the slides are not in backwards yeah i agree with him, make sure the half circle cut out in towards the rear of the carb on both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manny 2004 banshee Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 i have been having similar problems. My bike broke when i was out in ocotillo and it appeared just to be the slide in the right carb being stuck. But when i fixed that it still didnt work. I replaced the tors because the idle screw on it was broken but it still wont turn on. Could somebody help? :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagunCajun Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I had the same problem yesterday. Once cylinder was failing. Turned out to be a fuel problem. Make sure your "T"-fitting on the gas line coming from the petcock is level. You dont want one cylinder starving for fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandfrk33 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I've had just about every problem that has been suggested. Sounds like a fuel problem imo. After my first rebuild, bike did the same thing. Had to clean the carbs 2 or 3 times and it finally ran right. Let us know what you find. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overboost Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 dont mean to hijack the post but.. I have the same problem also, left side is much weaker than right at the exhaust. left is kind of just puffing and right is popping and smacking. you can hear it when left fires, engine revs a bit and then puffs. feels like compression is weak but when you run it WFO, it hauls balls. no problems. I have replaced carbs, swapped coil wires, changed the right carb with a different one, removed tors, changed gas line, changed gas, changed jetting all to no avail. everything looks good, sync, slides are in correct. could it be a reed taking a dump? I have the reed out on that side but dont know how to tell if they are bad. they are white pedals. pistons look nice and new through the port on the side, cant see the top. the bike runs perfect, driving around, WFO and all, it just bothers me that it is weak on the exhaust on the left side.

Overboost Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) I "THINK" that I figured it out, at least mine. idle adjustment... one carb slide was higher than the other, it would idle good, run fine but one side just popped more than the other. I reset them, adjusted them even, now I have exhaust comming from both pipes at the same pressure, and the smoke alternates between the two. I was getting shit loads of smoke from one, and almost nothing from the other. the weak cylinder was the one that was higher than the other, it must have been pulling more air, and the other side had more gas than air, hence the extra smoke and more pop. also why it went away and ran great on the big end, you take away that carb sync scenario, and poof, you have good power, just a funky idle. hope this helps, i JUST got done doing mine for the past 3 hours trying to track it down, from compression tests, to reeds, replacement carbs.
