XXDEF1ANTXX Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 well as the title says only one cylinder works and while that cylinder works well the other side, the left, does not. the left pipe gets kinda warm and will backfire when the engine starts revving. both plugs work and i just replaced the stator and flywheel. im thinkin maybe its an intake problem because the left plug is pretty dry... any other thought or suggestions would be awesome thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangheraent Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 does it have spark in that cylinder? if it does check your carb for an air leak. check to make sure the carb is getting fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXDEF1ANTXX Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 well when i rev it up the problem side backfires, i cleaned the carbs, as far as the air leak is concerned could the gasket between the reeds and the jug be the problem if its bad? im starting to run outta idears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swrbansheeboy Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 swap the plug wires left to right and see if the problem switches sides, if not swap plugs and see if it switches. if neither of those work you need to swap carbs. if your running aftermarket cabs then just switch them, if your still running stock then swap them and find a longer piece of hose to connect the ports where your crossover tube installs. you said that you replaced the stator, with what? i've had three bikes in the shop in the last year that would idle fine but would drop a cylinder once they got past half throttle, the problem turned out to be junk ricky stators...

XXDEF1ANTXX Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 i did the whole swap plugs and wires and each plug and wire worked in the right side, im gonna try the carb switch right now and yea i bought a ricky stator kit cuz i needed a flywheel too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowbuckracing Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 when did it happen?before or after your working on it..what all have you done ..Why did you change stuff out..More info.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXDEF1ANTXX Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 well i was riding and my shee just bogged out and stopped running and i couldnt get it started so we took er apart and we found it was nt getting a spark so we took the stator cover off and prolly a liter of water came out of there and i took a look at the stator and it was too far gone to try to repair so i installed a new ricky stator and flywheel and and now it sparks and all but the left side doesnt run properly, it back fires when it revs up and barely any exhaust comes out of the left but the right is normal. i removed the spark plug and noticed it was still very dry while the right side was damo as normal so ive basicly come to the conlusion, with the help of a few other minds thats the problem is somwhere in the intake. we checked the compression on either cylinder and they both check out at around 110 psi +/- 2 pounds variation.

lowbuckracing Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 The flywheel gap needs to be adjusted..Put a buisness card in it and tighten down between the flywheel and pickup..Make sure the pick up has no rust on it also..If it does simply sand the surface,Make sure the card runs smoothly through with only a little resistance and try to run it..

sangheraent Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 i had a similar problem on my bike and it turned out to be the little window in the carb had fallen out. i swapped the carb out and it fixed it. i tryed putting putty and stuff in there didnt work for some reason.

AKheathen Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 when you set the pickup, check both nodes on the flywheel. rs is notorious for being out of round/timing on the flywheels, and bad connections in the stator itself. have you checked your reeds? hold your hand over the left carb and kick it over. your hand should get sprayed with fuel, but not pumped off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXDEF1ANTXX Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 thanks everybody for the input, its was a combonation of carbourator and a bad reed gasket. i took her out when i was sure it was fixed and she performed better than ever, after i rebiult it it feels faster and i thought it was gonna rip my arms off lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
