are both pipes getting hot? does one get hotter quicker than the other?
my cl350 lately gets hot on the left and the right gets hot slower and has a rough idle and does what yours is doing.......
i don't have the answer but here's what i'm looking into....
cleaning points and checking right side points gap which is how youset the timing.
wide open throttle , it runs like a dream so i know mine is a bit off
coming to s stop sign, the idle drops and it craps out(sometimes)
dirty gas, plugged idle circuit in carb possibility but i just cleaned my carbs(again)
sticking float valve was giving trouble recently too which prevented fuel from entering left carb bowl but motor ran fine on right cylinder until i fixed the float and got gas to left cylinder which ironically made the right cylinder crap out without touching it.
this things(350s) seem to have a mind of their own, give some more info and maybe someone on here can help.
