Well after some off time due to holidays, heavy work load, and other general crappiness, I am ready to try and get my bike running again. As it stood, I had gotten everything back together and had synced the carbs (the merc levels would be equal at idle, a little throttle unbalanced them, is this a problem?). I went for a ride but it was real laggy. I spit on the exhaust and found that 1 and 3 were hot, but 2 and 4 were cold (each pair had one hot one cold). And that's where I left it. So........
Is it possible to seemingly sync the carbs without getting combustion on all 4? Maybe this is why throttling sent the mercury levels haywire...
I know I've got a spark on all 4 as I checked all the plugs and wires individually.
Mainly I'm trying to determine if I wasn't firing from the very beginning and just thought I was when I falsly synced the carbs or if even though I'm getting a spark it's too weak or something else.
Any ideas why I might not be firing on opposite pairs? Some sort of common cause failure instead of stuck carbs or something? I'm guessing I need to go ahead and order the carb rebuild pieces like I was about to back in October and get to work huh?
Thanks for the advice yall....I'm nearing my 1 year anniversary of the pizza guy incident, so I'd like to get this thing running by then.
