Hi all,
I had my left coil mouting bracket snap in two and left the coil dangling by the plug wire and the two sets of leads for a few days before I noticed. By the time I was able to fab a new one (these coils are USA aftermarkets and have a bigger OD, so the stock coil mounts I bought don't fit).
It sat for a week or two. Now when I start it, I have a very hard time of it. I have to choke, and kick about 10 or more times. When it finally gets running, it's real "ratty", and I have to work the throttle to keep it running -- especially when I flip the choke off. All this while in neutral. Putting in gear and riding is even worse.
If I keep it running by feathering the throttle, I get back-fires (can't tell which side) --- adn a lot more if I'm riding. Actually, I only went a few yards before I turned around and put it back to bed.
I checked and cleaned my connections to the coil and my self-made plug wire. Both pipes feel about the same degree hotness (is that a word?). I have Dunstall pipes which have a small opening in the center. The right feels like a definite "puff" when I put my hand over it. The left feels different ... almost like a "blow" ... more mushy, but with the same amount of gas coming out.
And as you all know, it ran just fine before .... :? :?
My only thought is a clogged jet, so I plan on taking the single Mikuni apart this weekend.
