Runs on 1 cylinder.

My CB350 seems to be running only on 1 cylinder. I heard where this seems to be a common problem with these. If so what is it that has been found to be ths problem. I've yet to check all the wiring. It seems as though it fires a little bit on the left cylinder but definately runs stronger on the right.

Make sure the diaphragm in the carb does not have a tear in it.

Make sure battery is fully charged first. Seems strange but it seems like this fixes half my motor problems. It's an easy first step.

I found that the float was too high. I also changed the rectifier to a solidstate rectifier. The old rectifier was rusty and did nothing to charge the battery. All is well now.
