Bikelife305 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Should the bike shut off when pulling one spark plug wire or would it just shut off the side that the wire was pulled off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesully810 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Both plugs fire at the same time. Only the side you take the cap off of the plug should shut off. Why do you ask? Are you trying to diagnose a spark issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keno Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Do you have a carb sync tool? Sounds like your carbs need synced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayesully810 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 trim some wire off of your spark plug wires about 1/4 inch then plug boots back on, try again. also make sure your pick up coil gap is set correctly. I set mine at .018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 it sounds like a carb sync deal to me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowit Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Agree with above. Carb sync sounds most likely. You can simply swap your plug wires side to side. If problems follow the wire, you have a wire problem. If not, you have other issues. Remove the airbox or filters so you can see the slides. Sometimes you can peek through the box. You will likely see one slide much higher than the other. Reeds are certainly possible but the carb check might be an easier check first. In many cases over the years, we see people messing with something on the bike and get the adjuster on top of the carbs not "seating" right. Make sure the cable ends are in their home! We also see where the cable will fray and cause issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Like I said in his other post most people mistake cable play/pull adjustment for sync , there two different adjustments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
