It was a long winter but things are warming up and I have the electrical done on my bike. Fired it up yesterday but need some advice.
I have addressed this a bit before but still am unsure of what the next steps are. At this point I can can start the engine on the second kick and get a good idea but it is obvious that I am running primarily on one cylinder. The left gets hot quick and the exhaust is warm while the right is much colder. Infrared thermometer reads pipe on left very hot at 300+ degrees and the right hovering around half that. Both exhausts feel the same pressure wise at the tailpipe.
I have to have the left idle adjustment about all the way in, or one turn from being all the way in to get to this point. Any adjustment on the right idle doesn’t seem to have any impact on getting the right side to join in consistently. Fuel mixture screws are both about a turn and an half from fully closed.
Checked the plugs on both sides and swapped them even. Both are good. Good spark on each. Rechecked the timing as well.
Any suggestions?
