smokin350 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Ok here's the deal i just got back from glamis and the bike was a beast out there. I loaded the bike on the tractor-trailer and everything was fine, i just got the bike back and mind u nobody touched or started the bike. Here's the problem my bike is only firing on the left side so i checked the plug on the right side to see what was going on and i noticed some oil on the top of the head and around the top of the plug and then saw that the plug was loose so i guess thats were the oil came from(I THINK?). I changed the plug on that side and still not firing but like i said everything was fine when i loaded it! The only thing i could think is when we took the bike off the truck, we just pulled it rite off the back and let it drop on the ground maybe something came loose cause when i started it was only firing on the left so i reached down to wigle the plug cap and i got shocked like a mother hahaha maybe the caps not on the top of the plug all the way idk but it was freezing out so i gonna mess with it on sunday!!! If u guys know anything else i should check let me know !!!!!! Thanks for any help guys and sorry for the novel just wanted to be specific!!!! Quote
Wildcard2 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 I would check the compression on that side. Your loose plug may have caused an air leak making it run lean. It may have still, been firing on that cylinder due to it bieng hot. wich is why it seemed fine when you parked it. Quote
bklf7 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Did you shut the gas off before trailoring? Maybe that carbs needle and seat is leaking and you filled your cylinder with to much gas. Quote
smokin350 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks guys for the replys I'm gonna check the compression but I dont think its that cause I let the bike cool down for 2 hours before putting on the trailer and when I started it back up it was fine, I got up to 3rd gear before putting it away and yea I shut off the gas before putting away!!! Idk I really think something came loose or its an electrical problem idk but it really pissing me off Im gonna go over the whole bike on Sunday is there anything else I should check for?? thanks guys Quote
