    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...

First the problem --is miss-fireing from 2-4k rpm when riding it above 4k its like a rocket , its like a peaking 2stroke engine. At idle the pilot screws don't make any difference above 3.5 turns which is were I have them to get the bike to start and run some carbs are at 4 turns . the sync of all 4 is good and the vac levels are high enough . I had 4 42.5 pilot jets so I replace the std. 40 jets and it runs a bit better . I can't find what the problem is as the engine ran perfect 6 months ago when the settings were 2.5 to 3 turns . I have checked everything , the valve clearances , compression is hi , no air leaks , the ignition is Dyna S which is very accurate and I have even checked that the spark is there for every pulse . but I remember a car I had had this exact problem and it was the coil .Though the color tune plug I can see the spark but there is no adjustment with the pilot screws.
any thoughts anyone ?

the carbs are the Bs ones CV type. I have cleaned them throughally(bad spelling) I noticed today that exhaust pipe on 2 and 3 cylinders are both cool at idle , the mixture is so lean that they don't produce power , used color tune plug and turned pilot screw out to 5 turns it made no difference. exchanged the coils but that made no difference either. I can see the spark in the plug. I don't know were to go from here .
 
Being that it is cyl 2&3 most likley rules out the coils, You Still have a carb problem
need to clean them again
