no fire in the #3 cylinder
Ok i got my carbs rebuilt , i got them hooked back up and fired the bike up. it fired up great. but is running rough. i felt the pipes and all of them are hot as hell ( just ask my fingers lol ) but the #3 pipe is cold.?? what in the world could be causing this?

before i forget. i pchecked for spark and it is getting plenty of spark. -
Ok you have spark. Soorry but that means you need to take another look at the #3 carb, clean all of the jets real goodComment

Do you have VM carbs or CV. The VM carbs petcock vacuum line hooks up to #3.Comment

that i dont know. i am an amatuer at this lol. i do know that it had gas in the bowl when i took them off earlier.Comment

I had same problem.Turned out to be vacuum hose from #3 carb to the fuel tap(petcock) was missing.Cheers,Simon.Comment

Oh, boy, another one in Dayton.
Toss me a PM or an e-mail (addresses in my profile) and I can put you on my list of things to do. We can get that bike running.
Oh, by the way, just what bike is it? Presumably a GS, but what year, what size, what model?

Drop Steve or I a PM. Im just around the corner from you, and Steve is 15 minutes from us. I recall you having a early 80s 550 correct? CV type carbs and Steve is great with those. I'd be happy to give a hand in whatever as well, but i will defer to him for the carbs, as he is pretty much a master.Comment

ok sounds good. ill get ahold of one you guys next wekend. its a 79 550e.Comment
-
Ohhh then you have VM carbs perhaps
Those I DO know. But still, Steve is captain Detail as well...lol. I think either of us, or BOTH of us would be happy to help. Next weekend would be no good for me, however, as i will be out of town. If ya can get a hold of me Tues, im off work. Or when i get back, any time then (ill be back Monday) id be happy to help as well.
