VegasJeff Posted November 1, 2009 Report Posted November 1, 2009 I I have determined it is a spark problem. The cylinder would not fire even with starting fluid sprayed directly in the cylinder and I am getting unburned fuel out of that exhaust pipe. I am planning on replacing my coil and seeing if that fixes my problem. The coil is almost never the issue,try new plug caps and trim about 1/4 inch off the wires.go through all your connections and grounds. Quote
dajogejr Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 If you swapped coils from one side to the other and it didn't follow to that cylinder, it's not the coil. Did you put the right carb bowl on the correct carb when you cleaned 'em? Start by checking the stator, ground wires, kill switch(es), pickup gap on the flywheel, etc. badassbanshee479 had a bike that would miss and hit on one cylinder and it ended up being a bad kill switch. Shit happens... Quote
stokes77 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Posted November 2, 2009 Could it possibly the pickup coil or maybe one of the lobes on your flywheel has been damaged causing it to only fire at the TDC for one cylinder? Quote

Shit happens... I am gonna check my kill switch and my pickup gap. I talked to a local mechanic and he suggested it could be the needle and seat on that carb. If it is not sealing correctly it might just be constantly flooding the cylinder. I am gonna check that too. Thanks for all the help guys. Quote
