    83' 1100E cyl #2 slow to warm up

    When I first start my bike up, #2 cylinder stays cool to the touch for the first few minutes where the other 3 are hot like they're supposed to be. It does warm up eventually and seems fine to ride and does seem to reach the same temperature as the others. I've installed a Stage # jet kit and have been through the carbs several times. #4 used to do the same thing and after my last thorough cleaning, it's fine now but # 2 is still doing it. Any ideas what to check?

    look at your spark plug--the diaphram in the petcock could be leaking-It is connected to the #2 carb

      I know the petcock does'nt leak when it's not running or when the tank is of the bike. is there a way to tell if it's leaking into the vacuum port on the carb other than the plug because it will warm up eventually?

        Check the vacuum hose for fuel after running the bike for a few minutes

          I checked the vacuum line and it's bone dry. It almost seems that it's not firing when the choke is on full and as I ease the choke off, it warms up a little more.

            The internal passageway between your main jet and fuel pilot is still blocked.
