clrkaw26 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I just put it back together, it ran great before but now one side is not firing the same as the other, the left side is smoking and seems to have really good compression and the left side was blowing cold air for a bit then warmed up but still not much smoke and compression, i flip flopped spark plugs and wires but still same thing on same sides. I did put the tors remover and idle screws on but did not change anything with the jetting or anything else, when I pulled the plugs the left side that is doing fine is a little wet and the right one is dry, not sure if its running leaner or just not getting much fuel, both carbs have seperate brand new air pods. Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Did you look and see if the new idle screw is actually lifting the slide? Some take more filing than others to get them to reach deep enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrkaw26 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I just filed it past the slanted part till it was flat, it did change my idle slightly when screwed all the way in, it seemed like the other cylinder ran a little more with the choke off than with it on so I reved it and it blew a flame out the right pipe and that's the problem side, I shut it down quickly, it also wants to die with the choke off and once it does its a bitch to restart, at first I thought I might be getting better compression on one side than the other which may pull more fuel but I really think its carbureted.

sheerider11 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 There's a guy in your area offering help that really knows his shit. So of you put your ego aside for a second and see that you don't know it all, maybe he'll still come help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2otoofast4u Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Lift the cable on the side that's cold on the top of the carb. See if it picks that cyld up. Also make sure the plug isn't fouled.

clrkaw26 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 That was what I tried right away, I swapped the plugs and it still does it, so swapped plug wires and still does it, I checked my reeds andthey are good, I even took the cylinders off that I had ported and put the stocks back on to make sure its not a bad port job, my carbs look to be in sync dead on nuts, my reed boots are perfect and gaskets are new and my girl is calling my bike lefty and fucking with me.

clrkaw26 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I started it up and manually moved the slide up and down on just the bad side and it responded to it so I know I'm getting spark on that side but it is running more lean than the other and it feels like less compression than the good side but the fact I blew a flame out the bad side pipe I am still thinking its a fuel issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 might be broken reeds. if you havent checked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrkaw26 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I checked the reeds on the bad side and no cracks or wear at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move that idle screw. Does the slide raise up? Does it raise up far enough? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 You prob had an air leak and blew one side and theres no compression. If the carbs were set and it ran fine. then all of a sudden its not rinning on one side..hmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Choke tube installed? Float bowls on correct sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrkaw26 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I turned the idle screws all the way out on both sides and it still did same just no idle, it will not start without spraying mixed gas in the carb either, stupid supply house sent me wrong topend so I had to temporarily put my other back in and it ran fine before, now that I think of it I did take the rings off the side that is running good now which might have stretched them a littl giving that side better compression but still does not explain the reason my right side is running so shitty and lean.
