Ok all,
First post in a long time but I really need a few ideas. Maybe I already know the answer, but I know the knowledge base here is huge and other opinions are always welcome in my crazy world.
M y 1987 Lemans IV has an intermittent and dead right side cylinder from time to time. I broke the bike out the other day to go for a ride and as soon as I twisted the throttle after my driveway....no power. I just went through the bike as far as a good carb clean, new plugs, checked timing, adjusted valves, synced carbs, etc.... I normally do this once a year after the bike has set for a while through winter.
My bike has a Dyna ignition and coils as well as some good Scott wires. Under load it seems to drop the cylinder, but while I'm tuning and adjusting everything in the shop it revs freely and nicely on both jugs. My battery was a bit weak, but it still started the bike through a 1.2 KW starter. Currently, I'm putting a full charge on the battery, but I dont feel this will cure anything.
ANY IDEAS???
Thanks Larry
