I believe that stock carbs cant be switched sid to side, make sure that they on on correct ---- choke should be on your left.

 

Make sure choke tube is in place.

 

Did you put in new plugs?

 

Gas??? when my bike runs low on gas, the left carb doesnt get gas flowing to it.

 

Just a couple simple ideas, good luck.....

[Hilarious]

What elevation are you? Are you up high enough in elevation where you

can run pump gas with those 19cc domes?

If you have spark and compression, last thing you need is fuel.

Do you know what size pilot & main jets are in your carbs and needle settings?

I dont know how Kehin sizes their jets but someone may come in here

and could tell you if you list the jet sizes.

Are your carbs syncronized?

What do your spark plugs look like?

What other mods do you have to your bike?

Have you got a good seal between your carbs, reed cages and intakes?

No air leaks anywhere?

I'm in the exact same position you're in. I have screwed with mine for almost a year now and thought I had it fixed but it came back the other day. I gave up and took it in to see what they say. I should get a phone call today and I will post here when they tell me what they found wrong. Let's hope they know what the hell they are talking about.

[ban1]

i can run pump gas (premium)got new intakes and like i said changed carbs

side to side with no change

cant remember what jets but plugs look good . listed mods and also have dial a jet

it cant be a carb problem (can it)?

[Wallrat]

Did you try cleaning the carbs? My first guess by the symptoms would be a clogged jet. I know you said u switched em but did you double check that it was the same cyl that wasn't running? Another thing you can check is the exhaust pipes. People have left rags in there after a rebuild and even had mice make a home in there.

[ban1]

i have cleaned carbs changed jets played with needles it is getting gas

left cyl at exhaust pipe has got oil down the out side were it hasnt burnt it

so gas is not a problem.

 

left cyl exhaust has air coming out but it isnt hot like right side until it gets into power band

 

runs great in power band but cant allways ride in powerband (or can I) Ha Ha

[fast500#12]

check for air leaks, cracked or chipped reeds ect.

[Wallrat]

Or carbs out of sync...

 

There was a thread not too long ago where a member had only 1 cyl running. It went on for awhile so just about every possible reason was addressed. I'd search for that.

[Ben350]

I had the exact same problem with stock carbs and it ended up being plugged up pilot and pilot bore. Sounded like it idled fine but had no low end and one side wouldn't have any smoke or hot exhaust until i revved it up.

[ban1]

like i said i have swaped carbs from side to side with no change

left cyl still not firing

[mybanshees2fast4u]

i have been having the same probelm for a long time with my bike with stock carbs. The one float in the carb that wasnt firing right was not at the right height. Set the height to stock setting, it fires and runs its ass off. Also I had a faulty coil that wasnt sending enough spark at low rpms to keep it running but when it was buzzed up ran good. Check the coil for continunity and the float hieghts

[Capone]

a big problem I had I could never figure out, sometimes you'll put the slides in the wrong carb, (at least I did with out paying attention) and it'll run just will bog out on bottom end.

[ban1]

every one is talking about a carb problem bu like i said i have swaped carbs from side to side with no change.

 

have gas and oil running down head from exhaust flange that isnt burning in

cylinder. thats why i dont think its a carb problem

[Wallrat]

Okay so you have spark on both cyls?

 

If you do, then it really sounds like you're rich on both sides, but worse on the left due to float height. You said you've had this problem the whole time since you bought it - so what size jets are you running?
