weird probem

[HAUSERSMOTORSPORTS]

this damn thing is really pissing me off now. brand new stator,pickup coil, everything else checks out fine. will fire up but will barely idle due to some ignition problem. it has good spark on the left cylinder but its dead on the right. then i go and give it a little more throttle and that side fires up. WTF!!!!!!!!!!! i got a trip tommorow and this thing fucks up.

Have you cleaned and synced the carbs?

[HAUSERSMOTORSPORTS]

yes. eveything is synced and gapped.

you're sayin that you're cheking the spark while the bike is running on the left cylinder right? sounds like the plug cap. didyou put new plugs in?

[98_shee]

It sounds like the carbs are out of sync or a pilot jet is cloged up. How did you sync them? Both needles are in the same position?

[HAUSERSMOTORSPORTS]

i checked spark by grounding the plug in the head stud. i synced the carbs by sight. i did it that way before and it ran good.then it just slowly ran worse.

Stock carbs? Have you switched the plug wires to see if it does it on the same side?

sorry, but that didn't really answer any of my q's. switch your plug wires. if the problem moves to the other cylinder, then you have a bad cap or wire.

we got it running and its running on the right then it hops to the left then runs on that then hops back over. how do i check the plug caps?

[HAUSERSMOTORSPORTS]

we checked them while it was running and its getting HOT spark on both cylinders.the carbs are clean and everything. no air leaks.

ohm meter- should be 5 ohms

My brother inlaw just had the same problem with his banshee and his carbs were out of sync. We re adjusted them and it ran great.

i would agree, but as stated, no spark at low rpms one side

LOL readin the post i was having a hard time telling if it has not spark at an idle or if just runs like it is not firing at idle?

[HAUSERSMOTORSPORTS]

its not firing at idle. we plugged the right carburetor and it ran great so that would tell me that it is not pulling in fuel.
