ETR174 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I ran my bike today and the right cylinder isn't firing. I warmed it up and the left exhaust was nice and warm and the right isn't. Also when I revv it up and the RPM's drop the right exhaust isnt letting out any smoke. It idles and smoke comes out. Also I drive it 20 feet and put it in neutral the RPM's rise just a little. The slides are in sync, choke tube is in place. I took the right carb apart a few days ago and cleaned out the jets.

KAMIKAZE Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Swap leads from left to right Swap carbs from left to right Do a leak down test Just been through similar crap with mine but doing the above should revieal which part is the issue and go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETR174 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Ok. Just curious what ended up being the problem with yours? Im starting to think the reeds. I never looked at them Edited September 24, 2014 by ETR174 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett131 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Spark plug firing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETR174 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 That is another thing I want to check. I did put new NGK R plugs in about an hour of engine time ago and the carbs weren't synced then so I'd image it was pooring gas on idle because the right was set really low. I'm not sure though. Not much I can do about it tonight but these are just ideas that I can take a look at tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett131 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Check your plugs before you get all worried...sounds like it fouled one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETR174 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I will. It seems like when I did replace it the cylinder kinda did the same thing just that it smoked more at idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
