Hey y'all just got my cafe back in running order for the spring after sitting in the cold colorado winter, and trying to figure out a small problem with cylinder #3. So, last year i bought the bike and started making all kinds of improvements (mistakes) and ended up cross-threading the spark plug on cylinder #3 somehow. Well, i figured i would just re-tap the spark plug hole with the spark plug itself. Turns out this didn't work out exactly as planned. The weird thing is that #3 runs some of the time (you can hear it popping in the exhaust when accelerating, and seems to work after about 30 mph) and it is definitely getting spark, but when idling it stays rock cold, i did the spit test and it is the only one that didn't evaporate. Just checked the plugs and #3 had soot on it (running rich) but all the rest were white (lean). The plugs were brand new as of October 2011, and getting new plugs seemed to have solved my problem for a short while. I did de-foul the plugs and put them back in only to find the same problem. So i guess what I'm getting at is what the *^%* is going on with #3 and can i fix it? Thanks for your input!!
