Hello everyone i need serious help I have been building a 79 cb750 super sport for the last 8/9 months. i was finally able to get it fired up the other night it will idle only on two cylinders and revs but pops at idle like a shot gun it driving me nuts. I have cleaned and swapped plugs, coils,spark boxes double checked for spark witch i have on all four wires. The carbs have been cleaned professionally but i double checked to be sure, the plugs come out wet so I'm getting fuel i have 150 psi in all four cylinders ohmed out all my wires they are good the connections are all tight. ran a second ground two the coils and a wire from the battery to the coils just incase it wasn't getting the right amount of power. I have also disconnected the power wire to the 2-3 coil and left the 1-4 coil hooked up it will only pop a little trying to start it at an idle but if i open the throttle just a bit it quits popping. Could my cam timing be off just a tooth to not allow 1-4 to run?
Sounds like you tried everything. I would say it sounds like bad plugs, but you said you've already swapped them. Have you checked the degrees on your timing to see if it's advanced or retarded? It may just be a matter of a degree or 2.
I have the electronic pick up coils on the crankshaft set exactly how the Manuel says to. And the advancer is working properly. I could loosen it and move it a bit and see if I get any change.
Thanks I will get on that as soon as I get home from work. But if it doesn't ohm correctly will it cause the spark to be late ? Because on my light it appears to be 90degrees off I can't tell if it's retarded or advanced
