vicious porkskin Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 problem #1 i have one cyl @ 165psi and the other @ 145psi. Problem #2 the 165psi cyl runs much hotter especially noticable at start up. 145psi cyl has less exhaust force than the other side and backfires very lightly and may sputter a little. As the engine warms up the cylinders somewhat catch up to each other in regards to equal temp. (Testing by hand only) I have cleaned carbs with carb cleaner and blown out with air, synchronized carb slides, and both carbs seem to be flowing fine but i have not dipped them in carb cleaner solution.

98_shee Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Could be an air leak, check your intake boots for cracks. Make sure your head gasket isnt leaking. Quote

I forgot to mention that i did spray carb cleaner all around the carbs, boots, and reeds. No change in idle occured. How do i check for head gasket leak? There is no leak down in the cylinders. Is there anything else that i can check into while im at it? Quote
