I just tore them apart today and I cannot see any obvious signs for no fuel being supplied to that cylinder. The main and pilot jets are not blocked and the bike was running quite well, it was a sudden failure. Im going to jet up and mix in more oil, aswell im going to switch the sides the carbs were on and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2strokespirit Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Do not rule out the fact that its NOT electrical........ You have covered the basis...... I have had a CDI that was stuck in advance, I know what I am doing and learned the lessons..... Yes it always seized just 1 piston, although it fires both.... Its just unbelievable.... So if you rule out the fuel issue, check your cdi man.... It happened to me 2 times one on my own RZ and on a customer's banshee.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard from more than one person that you cannot test them. Or do I just have to suppliment a known good one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
