Left Cylinder Not Firing

[Nighty]

Tors removed, so its not the handbrake.

 

left cylinder not fireing, i would say leaking oil seal on the ignition side (behind the stator) this would lead to sucking "false air"

 

also,

Let the bike idle and spray ether around the carbs, if you have any airleaks in your carbs or boots the bike will start reving up.

(a leak in the carb could be a lose or stripped carb top)

 

You checked your carbs, as a test you could try to open the fuel drain screwon the left carb to see if fuel is flowing to that carb aswell.

 

I hope this helps.

I checked both spark plugs and they both had a good spaark. I heard that if the oil seal is leaking on the fly wheel side that there will be 2 stroke oil aroumd the seal... I check it was dry..... Im really starting to think that its the carb because i Checked the spark plug and it looked almost brand new after idleing it for a little. So i dont even think its getting gas. But I have tried cleaning the carbs out a couple times already. Cleaned out all the jets and sprayed everything with compressed air. Is there anything I could be missing?

Is your carb slide in the right way?

 

and for the left plug beeing like new:

try this on the left carb:

open the fuel drain screw on the left carb to see if fuel is flowing to that carb

If there is no fuel comming out of the overflow tube after opening the drain screw you might have a clogged fuel block.

right under the carb bowls.

The screw was stripped so bad that I couldnt open it but there I ended up taking out the carb and taking it all apart and cleaning it really well so I'll let you know how it turned out when I start it today.

OK guys it turns out it is a leaky base gasket so i tore down the top end put in a new gasket... same problem and its still leaking from the base gasket... could i be doing something wrong? Im torqueing the bolts to 20 pounds is there anything IM missing?

i have the exact same thing happing right now too .... except i never rebuilt top end or any thing ...... it did it to me once before ..it had been sitting for a while during the winter .. i was lazy and didnt drain gas , so once i drained the gas and got new 93 octane in it and changed the packing in my pipes it worked fine ...
