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...

Re: Right cylinder not firing properly. Stumped. Need help.
I'm leaning more towards a fuel or valve timing problem at this point. I think the timing light not firing is due to extreme vibration on the right cylinder messing with the inductive pickup. I took the air box pipes off and was getting a little bit of fuel ignition that I could see through the back...

I have equal vacuum pressure on my CarbTune...

Right cylinder not firing properly. Stumped. Need help.
Hi everyone, I have a 1994 R100RT. Using a timing light, I found that the left cylinder fires consistently, but the right seems to fire half as often, fires very intermittently as I approach 2500 rpms and stops firing all together after 2500 rpms. I have replaced the spark plugs with NGK BP6ES plugs...
