weird carb problems on a 82 gs1100e

[Guest]

I bought a 4 into 1 Mac exhaust and maxi air pods and a stage 3 jet kit for some reason cylinder 1 is running rich 2 is kinda good 3 is getting lean and 4 is so lean it is turning my black pipe white.i seriously have tried adjusting everything and it is poping and cracking when it revs up the rpm jumps afterwords i have checked timing valve clearance checked for vacuum leaks took the carbs total apart and deep cleaned them.I'm out of ideas when i put the jet kit in i followed every instruction to the t. Any suggestions.

Never heard of Maxi Pad pods.
Check compression and how did you deep clean the carbs?
Oh and I bet your intake boots are cracked and leaking.

no just bought brand new intake boots Plus I just check the compression all 4 cylinders are running great compression the pods are eBay knockoffs

Make sure the pods aren't blocking the holes in the rear of the carb where they go on. A lot of cheaper ones do & cause problems

Ok here i think is the problem I'm running 138 dyna jet Mains what is that equivalent to in mukuni jet and if i have a bigger main do i need a bigger slow/pilot jet the one under the black rubber cap next to the main and if i do what size do i need for a 138 dynajet main there is a mukuni 45 pilot jet in there now so what size dyna jet pilot would i need to compensate the new size of the dynajet main.

Oh and i already cut the ridge out of the pods all good there.

Ouch!

One suggestion... PUNCTUATION!

DJ does not make pilot jets.

if you are running the chrome cone pods from ebay(emgo $28.00)....throw them in the trash and jet with open carbs...get it right then buy some good filters.

[londonboards]

I mean - you have synched them haven't you?

[andrews gs]

Well do i need a bigger mukuni pilot jet if so what size? And punctuation is not my strong suit.and no i haven't synced them yet.cause i can't get it to idle.

So i changed the pilot jet out to 47.5 and set the floats to 22.4mm.but it was still popping and sounding bad thought it might be the sync well as i was driving to get them synced it died and wouldn't start again well got it home checked everything.than started to check the coils they where all good.so i kept trouble shooting finally found that cylinder 1 and 4 pickup went bad and all the problems i was having the poping and ect was that starting to go bad and finally totally stopped working now sending them to dynatech to get replaced for 75 bucks.
