I downloaded a manual off the internet today, printed it out at work too. This is what ive tried so far to no avail, bike still wont idle and has no power under load.
1. Checked the point gap, seemed a little much .16 so i brought it down to .14.
2. Pulled the plugs and replaced them all, plugs 1,2,3 seemed okay plug 4 the arm that bends over the top was ash or white colored on top? I believe this is running lean.
3. Rechecked all the idle/air screws, they were all set at 1 1/4 turns out from seated.
4. Checked the battery, water level was fine, its a newer battery i hooked the tender up to it, showed green in 5 minutes.
5. Checked the air filter, its a K&N filter, newer i put it in about a month ago.
6. While i was replacing the plugs, i checked all the plug wires cut the end off and reseated the housing part on again to make sure they had good contact.
7. Checked the fuel flow, checked the inline fuel filters for obstructions. Everything seemed okay.
About a month ago i pushed the clip up a notch on each carb needle because this bike has a 4 into 1 exaust on it, and was running extremely rich. This seemd to take care of the problem, its been running great since then. I readjusted the ide/air screws as well after adjusting the clips on the needles to adjust for the bike running leaner. I just cant help but try and think about what would have happened between the last time i rode the bike (a few days ago) and now. it was running great like always a few days ago, i took an hours ride on it, park it in the garage come back in two days and wham! wont idle, has no power under load, and the engine sounds really rough now. Could it be related to the temperature? I parked my bike in our hotter than hell garage, it hit over 100 degrees for a few days in a row, and my wife was doing laundry in our garage at the same time which made it extremely muggy and very hot in there for long periods of time. Could condensation make something not work? Dam ive been working on this all day, and doing searches for anything related to this issue, but havent found much. Any more ideas guys?
