SMD69 Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 I just put on a new IMS 5.6 gallon desert tank. Prior to installing this tank, My bike ran perfect. On the first ride I noticed that the bike was idling differently that before. I also noticed that when i would just nail the gas, it would immidiately bog, then pick up as normal. I loaded it up and took it home When i was idling it in my garage, I noticed that little if any smoke was coming out of the left pipe, the right pipe was smoking normally (normal smoke from the premix). I also noticed that the air coming fro mthe left pipe was cold as compared to hot air from the right pipe. The left pipe remained cold, even close the the motor. I replaced plugs...no help I compression tested cyliders...L-135psi, R-130psi Pulled reed cages on Left side. Reeds appear to be in good shape. Found broken throttle cable (near carb) on left side. Noticed carbs to be out of sync significantly. Would the out of sync issue cause the Left cylinder to not fire? I have not been through the carbs yet. Anyone have any insight on the info i have provided so far? Quote
boonman Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Found broken throttle cable on left side That is part of your answer. I am also betting that possibly the pilot jet is clogged. And the carbs being out of sync didn't help any. I would pull the carbs off and clean them with cleaner and compressed air. Remember, you must remove the jets to do this. Quote
SMD69 Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Posted April 8, 2004 Ive never gotten inside the carbs before. Am I in for a task or is it relatively simple to get the jets out and clean them? Quote
Yamahammer Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 If you still have the tors on top yea its alittle hard, just remove the carb tops lossen the boot clamps and twist the carb over so you can get to the jets ,you have to do ane at a time, you also need to remove the fuel line where it goes into the carb on the left carb sitting on the bike the other will twist ove and dont forget about the choke tube.
