detonation in left cylinder?

[thesheerider]

Detonating in the left cylinder/ choke cylinder, i recently cleaned the carbs. seems like choke is stuck on, what should i be looking for? not to good with these carbs. i relize there is a choke jet in the float bowl and a tube that connects them. did i put something back together wrong? did i loose something?

You might be pinging from high comp with not enough octane, or too much timing, I have never seen a bike detonate and the motor live much longer than about 5 seconds after that. More than likely if it didn't do it before, and it did it after you worked on it, then you did something wrong.

Also check your carb manifolds and gaskets for any leaks, does it backfire out of that side?

I think i figured it out, compression and octane are alright. im pretty sure its the new stator i just put on, i did a bunch of work, including CDI, eliminating the TORS & Lights. the timing was not advanced, but the stator i got was from RM stator and its a piece of shit, cast aluminium bullshit. i will never buy any thing from RM stator again, they didnt even send me the free xenon bulbs. so i wouldnt recomend RM Stator to anyone. The cast was so weak that i snapped the adjusting ear off, and then stripped the pick up coil mounts by just barely tightening it.

 

Oh yea and the manifold gasket are fine i checked them.

I have a rs 200w stator and flywheel, so do 4 other guys I ride with. Never had a problem with them that I didn't cause myself. Why did you have the pickup screws out? I think Ricky's stuff works great. A lot of the complaints about his stuff I see on here are from people who dont know hot to diagnose electrical issues, or they broke the parts themselves not installing them right.
