It could be alot of things at this point! You want to eliminate some other possible issues first. Its worth checking every piece of pipe and hose you can find. Even if you are sure they are clear and ok check them anyway! Ensure they are all in order and aren't kinked, blocked or connected wrong etc. I also have one of these if ya need help with locating pipes. Some of these are vaccuum pipes and affect fuel flow. Secondly since you rebuilt the engine you may need to adjust your carbs. Maybe even rebuild them if they stood dry for any real length of time. Also I believe that on some years of bike the fuel cap is a breather, so you'd need to check that too. It may be as simple as a fuel issue on those two cylinders.
Once your happy that everything is solid then look to things like timing etc.Last edited by Guest; 06-27-2010, 04:43 AM. -
No, it's not a timing issue

OK, so I had to read this to see what "timming" was, and found out you were wondering about "timing".
Depending on what gaskets you replaced, there are all sorts of mis-timing possibilities. If you had the cams off, they could be mis-timed. You would have to try awfully hard to mis-time the ignition. Probably the most likely would be what Big T suggested, make sure the plug wires are on the correct plugs. The left coil should be connected to 1&4, the right coil should be connected to 2&3. It does not really matter which wire goes to which plug, but you will see that one wire is a bit longer than the other, put the short wire to the plug that is on that side of the bike. That is, on the left coil, put the short wire on #1, on the right coil, put the short wire on #3. This would be a good time to remind you that #1 is under your clutch hand, #4 is under your throttle hand.
