came home today and tried to get a quick ride in before the rain. 3 and 4 weren't firing. took it a few blocks and it was definitely running on only the left side. i figured it would get warm and then 3 and 4 would start to fire. they eventually did on my limp back to the house so i turned around and took it through the neighborhood without much incident. a little boggy on more throttle but eventually that evened out.
rewind a couple days: on saturday i did valve tappet adjustments and filed/adjusted points but i rode it after that without any issues. in fact it ran great. after the ride i took the plugs out and checked gap on all of them and checked resistance on all my plug caps as i never had and was curious about that part of the puzzle. i found a vacuum leak in my airbox boots and think i corrected that to an extent. put everything back the same way. nothing different. didn't ride it easter sunday as i was hung over as fuk. however saturday night i ran it in the carport a little. started one kick. sounded great.
i have noticed my battery at rest is around 11.5 v. i haven't sorted the charging issue yet. i noticed 14.5 v at 3,000 rpm the other day.
just wondering if anyone else can tell what, out of this description would cause this weirdness. i haven't had a cold cylinder(s) in a while. especially since i sorted my float height issues weeks ago.
