The family battle cry: Killole Abu
Hello ton doers,
I've been working on this bike sense may; all summer. It's been left to sit for many years before I got it but I've done a ton of work to it and it's now running. Almost ready for the road, but it's only running on one cylinder(left leg side). If you juice the throttle it'll rattle the other cylinder a little bit. Almost like it's back firing. When driving this makes it tough because when that second cylinder hits the power boost is noticeable; it'll jolt you.
1. Maybe it's fuel.
That may be, but I've adjusted the jets, idle screws, floats, fuel lines and the petcock has been cleaned. When the good side is running the bad side is still blowing gas through the carb if you put your hand over it. I know fuel is making it into the cylinder because if you run it without the exhaust pipes on it blows fuel out of the exhaust valve side of the block. Also I've only run it on high test(93) gasoline.
2. Maybe it's air.
That may be, I replaced the stock air boxes with the cone shaped air filters. Simply because they're easier to clean. But these air filters have about the same enough of drag as the stock one's do. So i doubt it's air.
3. Maybe it's spark.
That may be, but both sides have new plugs (nice NKGs), I've also taken each plug out and sat it on the block and they're both showing very nice strong spark. Both have been properly gaped.
4. Maybe it's points.
That may be, but two buddies of mine at two separate times have adjusted the points/timing. Both of my friends are mechanics who work at two different local dealerships, so I should hope they know what they're doing.
I don't want to be that guy who say he's fixed everything and expects you to know why my bike still isn't working. If you feel I've not done something listed above correctly, please let me know. I just wanna get this thing fully working.
It's too late for me to shoot a video of it running tonight but I'll upload one in the morning so you guys can see what it's doing.
Thanks so much for any help.
