alright KR i thought we had it a fixed the last time but i was wrong. for those of you who dont know i couldnt get the bike to even fire. so i fixed the timing and it ran and would run and idle while hangin in my garage. well after letting it sit for a week without starting it i cant get the bike to stay running. if i spray ether in the air cleaner and put it on full choke the bike starts right up and then will run for a bit and slowly die unless i spray more ether in the air cleaner. i cleand the spark plugs off and it does the same thing. it is getting air/fuel and has spark. i have changed nuttin on the bike since it ran fine. any ideas?

Your bike is 14 years old. I am a firm believer in replacing every possible seal in the carb's. I just did it and it made a world of difference. I did cheat on some of the "o" rings. I used some from the Harbor Freight Nitrile Metric seal kit. If you do use this kit, always use a seal the next size smaller than the original and strech it over the part. The seals I suggest you do not cheat on are the seals for the air/fuel screws. Also replaced all of the clamps on the air box, "intake side and air box side". They were the most expensive parts. I did replace my springs for the slides since I had one streched longer than all of the rest.Last edited by Kfreak; 06-14-2009, 02:55 PM.

Might be overly obvious, but...
Have you checked to make sure the petcock and vacuum lines are working correctly, no leaking, and fuel is flowing correctly since the cleaning?

well i found that one of the fuel inlet t's into the carbs was kinked. after fixing the t and reassembling the bike it started and ran on the first try. after a while the bike slowly died and i have been havin difficulty gettin it to stay running again. every once in a while the bike will turn over and run for a bit and then shut off. this is what i have all done/checked/noticed.
1) number 3 cylinder doesnt seem to be firing. the exhaust pipe is not getting hot. The cylinder has spark and fuel is gettin into the carb
2) fuel is getting into all the carbs and each cylinder has spark
3) the bike no longer fires on starting fluid. it seems to make no difference whether i spray starting fluid in it or not. this leads me to believe that air is not getting into the carbs
4) one of the rubber stoppers that covers the pilot jet is missing from a carb. is this goin to cause problems for me?
I am gettin frustrated. everytime i seem to repair a problem the bike still wont run. any ideas?Last edited by Jerkeife; 06-20-2009, 09:45 PM.
