motoboy17us2007 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I bought it and it only runs on the right cylinder its gettin spark and gas (I think) but I think the reeds are bad (thats wat i was told be the previious owner) can they just "lock up" Quote
Hilarious Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) Congrats on ur purchase. Get in there and check those reeds man, and tell us what you found. If you've got spark and fuel, the only thing left is compression. Might wanna check that out. Spark plugs and the choke cross over tube between your carbs. Edited February 24, 2006 by Hilarious Quote

daryn c Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 also if youve ran it with just one piston you might have a load of carbon build up on the one thats not firing.. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 also if youve ran it with just one piston you might have a load of carbon build up on the one thats not firing.. 478546[/snapback] or a fuxored crank! Quote
NotsafeFWD Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Well I know reeds can break and get gummed up. On our older Yamaha sled, we had a friend of the family take a look at it and the reeds were all boogered up. He clean them, addressed a few other problems and things cleared right up. Quote
banshee tuner Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Those reeds are probably stuck open. Quote

dawarriorman Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 also if youve ran it with just one piston you might have a load of carbon build up on the one thats not firing.. 478546[/snapback] How does carbon form when the cylinder isn't firing? Quote

daryn c Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 How does carbon form when the cylinder isn't firing? 484735[/snapback] all the gas and oil thats not getting burned Quote
dawarriorman Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 all the gas and oil thats not getting burned 485024[/snapback] You do realize what you are saying right? That gas and oil is magically turning into carbon without burning. If its not burning, its still gas and oil. Quote
