Cylinder #2 dead after carb rebuild

[hillsy]

Not uncommon for brand new plugs to be defective - found it quite a bit when I was working in the shop.

ALWAYS swap the plugs around to a working cylinder as well as the leads when you are chasing these types of gremlins. Just because you can get a spark on a plug outside the cylinder doesn't mean it will fire when it's in the chamber.

BTW - well done and glad you found the problem

thanks, it's been a long weekend call sucks just anticipation of getting called in drives me bonkers then the bike running like a$$ also does. This all started because the gas mileage sucked resulting in a complete carb rebuild, which caused all O rings to be replaced, guess it was a blessing in disguise, there is always a silver lining right????

here were my non existent orings
no wonder my gas mileage sucked and I was losing gas somewhere and it would never idle
