Re: Right cylinder not firing properly. Stumped. Need help.

They move up and down fine with my finger. I ordered a leak down tester today. When I ran the bike with pipes from the airbox removed from the carbs, I saw some backfiring in the right carb. That makes me think that the right intake valve is either still partially open at time of ignition or that th...

I have equal vacuum pressure on my CarbTune...

Right cylinder not firing properly. Stumped. Need help.

Hi everyone, I have a 1994 R100RT.

I have replaced the spark plugs with NGK BP6ES plugs...
