Thanks, initially it was a low budget build and since it worked from the beginning I never thought to replace that…

***Update Update!! This may save someone else weeks of headaches... After all the suggestions and help. Multiple cleaning of already clean carbs, readjusted the valves, re timed, re synched carbs drained gas tank, New gas, New plugs and on and on... The culprit was the ORIGINAL FUSE BOX FROM...

Since I've got the Mike's XS set up there are no barbs on the intakes.. but there are several other orifices on the carb bodies with vent tubes.. Thinking I may drill and tap holes on the aluminum intakes to install barbs. Just stumped because the bike was running beyond perfect a few weeks ago...

Thanks man! That area is in SW Palm Bay We live in Vero Beach.

Thanks Chris, I have a set of vacuum gauges but couldn't find any place to attach them, does a manometer attach differently? Timing was spot on at idle and through the low rev range. I realize it's not a very technical or scientific method but as I previously mentioned the bike had been running...

Bench synched, then fine tuned when running by adjusting cables until idled and revved smoothly. The bike was running very good, super strong even scary crisp throttle response for several hundred miles and gradually began to misfire on the right side. I've been reading up on some compression...

Ok, thanks for your reply. I wasn't sure if that's what Dave meant. So I guess it's normal to only spark on one side after turning of the ignition.. strange thing is that it also lets off another spark a few seconds after kicking over, I guess this is the TCI shutting down. I probably need to...

My set up was running 110% with properly jetted Mike's XS carbs and Banshee cable.. I confirmed the bowls have fuel, can see light through both main and pilot jets.. initially I thought it was carbs but after a quick check, which is super simple the jets are all good. Drewpy, I agree about the...

The bike has run very strong a couple hundred miles on this set up, small battery, no electric start and red/white wires connected.

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply. The plug was slightly fouled, it's definitely getting fuel. The bike starts and runs, revs etc. right cylinder cuts out when trying to ride. Can someone confirm if it's normal for the right side to spark after the key is turned off? I always ground the plugs...

Is this normal? Bike was running beautifully several weekends out, then one day began misfiring on the right side. Right side plug looked fouled, I though a fresh spark plug would solve the problem but didn't. I noticed when the plugs were out that both cylinders have spark however when I turn...

Ok so the battery was low 11.92v due to multiple tries and lights on lights off etc.. so I charged it overnight to 13.4v. Bike always starts first kick and did so but was still misfiring in the right side. What's interesting is that after turning on the ignition switch, the right side still...

Hi guys, I've searched several topics and can't find what would cause my bike to create a spark 2-3 seconds after turning on the ignition.. without kicking it over or hitting the starter. It also sparks once a few seconds after kicking it over. It's only the right side. So I switched the coils...
