Alright, this is an age old problem for me, and I have posted 2 threads on this topic. Basically, every once in a while the bike will not accelerate past 5K RPM, this is occurring because the right cylinder is not firing, at least I think. When this first happened I took it to the shop, they cleaned the carbs and rejeted, that was 4 months ago and the problem as came back over and over again. The second or third time I simply changed the spark plugs, it worked, and then the same thing happened again. I then took out the carbs and checked the pilot jets 2 times, thinking they may be dirty, each time they were clean. Basically the only thing that fixes the problem temporarily is changing the spark plugs. I have bought new spark plug caps and wires.
So, the only things left are syncing the carbs or the ignition system. For the ignition system, what do I need to check and change? I have no idea what to look for? What made me think of the ignition was a new side effect of the problem, I noticed when I let go of the throttle, I hear a weird noise coming from the bike, it sounds like something is cranking and its pretty loud and constant, its more electric sounding then mechanical, it basically sounds like the bike is trying to start and it doesn’t stop until I give it throttle again or it stops after time.
What about the fuel mixture? Could the bike be to rich? The bike has lost power, even when its running on both cylinders, how do I adjust the fuel/air mixture? Or does this have nothing to do with it?
I’m trying to fix this once and for all, hope you guys can help, thanks.
