    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How do my compression numbers look?

3. It will suck fuel from a pinhole in the fuel-tap diaphragm, causing #3 to run rich.

So is it related? Not likely. You would have to run it lean for an extended period to do damage, and then it would be burning valves that would result -- which is evidently not your problem with cylinder #3.

Or...it has been leaking long enough that the extra fuel causing it to run rich, has been "washing" the cylinder and over time, has taken the rings out, which is why I asked... :? :(
 
Well, the plug on #3 DID say RICH, but we'll see once I have driven it a bit and soaked it in enough chems :P

Hmm, you've got a good point there, Dave. So there's another thing for Tofuball to check out...

Allright, parts should be in today, should I post pictures, or are there enough of those floating around already? :P
 
Allright, It was actually an electrical issue, when I bump the wiring harness spark gets intermittent. I fixed a bit of that. Then my start button exploded, so I got a new one of those.

Now for some reason the left (sitting on the bike) side two cylinders aren't running, they're getting spark and compression . . .

So I MUST have messed something up on the carbs.

Any ideas what could cause the left two cylinders to not fire?
 
So, after rechecking _everything_ and practically rebuilding the wiring harness . . .


I got on my bike and just drove . . .
. . . for 140 miles.

It runs SO MUCH BETTER NOW.

You guys were right, It just needed some highway

Still has a lot of problems, and it's still as slow as a 250cc, but we'll work on that with the rebuild. At least it's firing on all cyls now.

. .. oh yeh, and another weird thing, for some reason the Stator and R/R just RANDOMLY decided to START WORKING AGAIN.


Thanks for all the help so far.
