My bike suddenly lost a cylinder

Oh! and those carbs are NOT stock. It helps to tell us what you have...

If I was you, I'd ask if there is anyone near you who can come over and help you clean your carbs. At least just pull the rack and clean the jets in #2. It's not that hard really and it's easiest to have someone there who knows what they are doing and can show you. There is a really good write up on bikecliff's website about how to clean them though.

Yep, my bad. I could not remember that they we're called flat slides in my first post so I just called them "racing" carbs.

Later I did note they were "flat slides" but I do need to learn the model number as I think it is still not very descriptive (and I now upon closer inspection I should soon replace the intake boots so I better find out soon).

I remember I think someone calling them "RS flat slides" when I started a thread on them many months ago but that is all I know. I still need to find out what size.

Yep, I got TomMLC and a friend who is not on the group living near me, both of which I bothered quite a lot on Friday when the probelm happened. I gotta find a way to pay them back first!

Also need to find some intake boots before I bother and find out what other parts I might need for a rebuild before I take her apart...
