Hi
Helping to set up bike. It has new carbs a new Boyer MK3. I have rewired the pick up & Boyer wires, with an extra earth. We now have the bike running after doing the float heights, tick over is a bit high but it pulls really well. We have a misfire & popping & banging that occurs after approx 10 miles of riding. Nearside is always affected. We are putting on new spark plug caps & leads tomorrow & swapping them over to the other cylinder to see if
a) the new leads/caps sort the problem b) to see if the problem swaps to the other cylinder ie prove its the coil.
I had swapped the coil but I only had old spares on the shelf so can not be sure if they are alright. We have new plugs, I have stripped the new carbs,checked & rebuilt them. The coils are original Lucus 6 volt ones. The plugs nearside plug has a dry black sooty coating that you can wipe clean. The bike will restart & run fine again for another 10 miles or so
Anything I am over looking? We are slowly working through everything & it feels really close to being right but the bike keeps moving away from us.
Thanks Chris
ps does anyone know the ohms for a Kawazaki w650 coil? The owner had one as his first bike back after 40 years & has a brand new 2 lead coil.
