ZachBreck Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 2005 Shee, normal mods of Pro Flow with K&N, FMFs, the normal stuff. I was riding and all of sudden I didn't have any power bottom end, it was fine at high RMPS but it didn't want to idle either. I felt the exhaust and my left side is running air out just as cool as outside temp, when I reved it up it got a little warmer but has 1/4 of the pressure as the right side. I switched everything I could to try to find the problem, I swithced plugs, wires, I even had an extra carb I switched on it and still does the exact same thing on the exact same side. I checked and there is no leaks, I can't hear a difference, I am lost......what could it be? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote
dirt-riceburner Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 Check the reeds really carefully. I had a similiar prob the other day and the reeds on my my left side was loose. Quote
Snopczynski Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 make sure the plugs not fouled, and the carb choke balance tube is on. Quote

Well that cylinder is not running and you need to figure out if it is fuel or ignition related. I would think you either lost compression on that cylinder or something clogged up the carb. If you put a new plug in and swapped wires and that did not fix it, it is not ignition related. Brandon Quote
ZachBreck Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Posted August 2, 2007 I tripple checked the plugs and wires, I am almost 100% sure its not that, I also put the choke tube on when I switched carbs. I will check my reeds when I go out but could it be something worse...could I have wasted the piston already. I am running the normal mods with 280 mains and plugs have always looked good....I appreciate the help though. Quote
Michael Jackson Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 check for air leaks anywhere, and do a compression test Quote
ZachBreck Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Posted August 8, 2007 Reeds are good and the compression is way down compared to the right side.....where do I start, anyone have any suggestions Quote
