    RS34's eng. miss

    Hi guys. i need some help to get rid of a miss in my 1000 eng. im sure it is the carbs and not electrical. i have switched coils and wires and the miss stayed in the same cyl.
    I have cleaned the RS34 carbs a few times and the miss has moved to dif, cyls. after cleaning.
    During the last cleaning i discovered the pilot screw O rings have degraded and some bits may have gone into the pilot circuit? I replaced them with new.
    I will clean them again and focus here.
    I have been testing where the miss is by using a temp gauge on the header .i can tell which cyl is running hot or cool, so i can know which cyl is missing/starving for fuel.
    what I just noticed just now is that if i hold my hand lightly in front of the carbs bell mouth(air filters removed) i can feel a slight air pulse on Home , a very strong pulse in Blogs almost like its spitting back, and no pulse on 2 and 4?? At the header, the temps are like this, 1= 300* 2=215* 3=255* 4=175* don't pay attention to the low temps its not completely warmed. just that #1 is running best and 2,4 are worst. they should all be a similar temp.
    What is this difference in pulsing telling me??

    compression and valve clearance is good is good.

    Have you verified the valve lash?

        If '"compression and valve clearance is good" What do the plugs look like?

        Pulse? We know the Mikuni RS Series chatter at idle which is normal

        I have RS34s on my GS1000/GS11002V but no issues like this

          Sorry for the delay.
          i have cleaned them again. i found some more bits of the old pilot screw O rings that degraded ,and some bits have may have gone into the pilot circuit . the pulsing is gone. i just have a miss in cyl 4. and a little pop or backfiring. I will try to clean # 4 again.
          Plugs look a little rich if anything, but I would expect that after a start up with chock and a short run time. #4 not so much. looks like it was wet? a little confusing really?
          Valve lash is good. compression is 200psi to 215.
          I have not really looked into the carb boots. they look fine, as as we know, that doesn't mean much. i have heard that u can test them by running a unlit torch of some kind around them?
