Here's the deal guys (any girls on the site yet?):
The right cylinder on my '01 misses every so often. It stutters, then runs OK, then misses, etc. When this happens, the engine RPM's fall, then rise as the cylinder fires normally. It happens at any throttle setting.
New plugs and wires have not helped. I swapped coils side for side and the problem remained on the right.
I have questions.
Could the problem be the ignitor?
Could the problem be the pickup coil?
How do I check either of those w/o Kawasaki's (nonexisitant) proprietary tester?
What else could cause this?

Thanking you in advance!

OK, if you say so, FOG, I'll go over them again! And yes, I have a fuel filter.
How does a blocked jet cause a miss at higher engine speeds? I'd have thought the pilot circuit's affect would be negligible then.

Re: Dear Fog, im in utter dispair

It sounds like 1 or both of your pilot jets are plugged. The engine is struggling to draw fuel through the main jet. and at this slow airspeed across the bridge the flow is intermittant.

Pull the carbs and pull the pilots out and be sure you can see through them.

Wait, is this my answer?
