Nieskes Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 When im a little more then half throttle it sounds as if the left side of the engine just shuts completely off in any gear. We also have tryed disconnecting the TORS but still no luck. Any help or suggestions would be great. Quote
sheerider1026 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 sounds like the carbs need cleaned, could be a main jet stopped up.. i would clean and inspect, no fuel on one side also means no lubrication.. be careful running it that way. Quote
Nieskes Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Posted January 13, 2008 We had put a new stator on, after that it ran beautiful but then this started happening. Also the spark plug in the left side, the white pary turns very black and oily after a short drive up the street. Quote

Those boots are notorious for going bad. Quote
brugal Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 Since the problem is between 1/4 and 3/4 throttle,your needle clip position may be rich. Quote

We also have tryed disconnecting the TORS but still no luck. Any help or suggestions would be great. The first thing I would check is the plug on that side. See if its fouled, and if so, check for spark with a new one. If everything checks out, I would open the carb on that side to see if something is plugging up the jets like dirt. Did you make sure the slide was moving up and down on that carb? Thats the basics, if everything checks out from there, I would do a compression test. Quote
brugal Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 that was the problem, do i have to buy all new wires or just the boots? F.A.S.T. sells spark plug caps $4.00 eacH. Quote
dajogejr Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Yep...just the caps. Get the NGK ones...very, very common on stock coils and very easy to fix... Quote
