Junkyshee Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I don't know what the hell is going on. So I finally get it running. Made many of trips up and down the road and it cleared out and ran damn good. But if I shut it off and let it sit for an hour or so when I got back on it would studder before the band then clear itself out. Well it sit a couple of days and then when I got back on it, it was acting like it was running on one cylinder, I switched the plug wires and it was still missing on same cylinder, the side that wasn't running would smoke like crazy like raw fuel. I checked compression and it was 120. Then I swapped reeds and cages and the miss also swapped sides, so I was happy to think I was just going to put new reeds in being since its sit for 9 years. Well today I cleaned the reeds real good and put it back together, fired up first kick like always but was still missing, but while standing back and cupping my hand over the exhaust the side that was smoking raw fuel and not hitting would hit every now and then, I revved it up and it hit for a second and come back to idle and would hit every few seconds, WELL here's where it got weird, all of a sudden it changed sides, like just out of the blue. And the side that wasn't running started running all the time and the side that was running died out and started smoking raw fuel. What the fuck? Anyone ever seem a coil do this? Or could this still possibly be a reed issue? Thanks in advance guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Maybe just do a top end job. Start with a clean slate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Stock carbs? If so is the crossover tube connected? Carbs synced? Leak down test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 ohm your stator, try new plugs. fresh gas both sides read the same on comp test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyshee Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Both sides read the same compression, stock carbs, crossover tube has no cracks and is connected tight, carbs are synced, leak down test was a+, brand new plugs, it needs fresh gas it just ran out and I cleaned the tank out really good. I know 9 years is a long time but the topend was completely fresh 9 years ago and had never been fired up until last weekend. I did notice when I took the hoses off the carbs from the tank that one side would have alot of gas coming out and the other would dribble until I moved the line and then both Would have the same amount. I'm just puzzled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyshee Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 It seems more like a firing issue because one side doesn't hit all the time and then it switched and other side started hitting part of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Pull flywheel and clean rust off stator poles. Clean timing nubs outside of flywheel. Set pic-up gap. Check ALL connections are corrosion free, tight, add dielectric grease. All grounds clean&tight. Coil mount bare metal, better yet is run seperate ground from coil back to motor. Trim 1/4" off plug wire, install cap with di-grease. Check switches have continuity when they should and none when they shouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Did you actually pull the petcock and clean the screen and check that the valve is clean an flowing freely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyshee Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thank you Larry, ill go over all of that tomorrow. And yes I pulled the petcock and cleaned it all inside. Also cleaned inside the tank letting it dry overnight. I still believe its my reeds whenever I think about how it has been stuttering before the power band, putting new reeds in tomorrow and give that a shot. Still opinion to opinions guys, that's for all of the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
