    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.

So I goes out to my GS on thursday night and and the thing is runing only on two cylinders N0#2, 3,

I go through everything, gas = good, coils = good, Plugs = 1 and 4 fouled,


I clean the plugs and its OK again, took it for a blast and it seemed to foul again, but this time on 2 and 3,

I changed all for plugs and its OK, its kicking out power from the Alternator/stator, but the battery was on the low side,

the only thing that changed was I took the battery off the GS when I was messing with another bike that wouldnt start on its own battery , before I had the problem, so maybe this ws the cause, any you guys have any IDEAS?,

Its running the standard efe ignition, and its running a Wolf pipe that seems to run the bike on the rich side, its allso running standard air box, and jets havnt been messed with at all, as far as I know since ive had the bike for 3 years the air screws on th carbs havnt been messed with either,

ive priced a DYNA for $230 bucks, should I go to pod filters, and where or what should I do wth Jetting


Lots of questions HUH,

But till this plug fouling thing I really havnt had any problems with the bike with the pipe ive got on it now or jetting etc
 
SO thanks for the help and advice eveyone, :(
anyhow I think I Have it sorted now it looks like it was a low battery was causing all kinds of problems with the coils
 
You should have posted this in the Technical Info forum... That's were the tech gurus hang out.

Glad you fixed the problem, though.
