Hey all,
I hope you're all still healthy and happy. I have gotten my xs up and running. I am about to go through my carbs and re-clean them and re-set them because I THINK I am running only on 1 cylinder. Here are the reasons I think this:
1) feels like I don't have tons of power on accel from rest
2) feels like I need to stay in first even up through 20mph and down at 10mph it starts to sound like it's lugging.
3) when I turn the engine off, a gorgeous but disturbing puff of blue flame ignites from my 2-1 exhaust
4) I've looked at the plugs and one (the right one) looks kinda dark/covered in blackness.
Reasons I doubt the diagnosis of running on 1 cyl:
1) both sides feel hot after a 10 min ride.
2) tested spark plugs and they both fire (hence why I think it's maybe a fuel/carb issue if it is firing on 1 cyl)
What do you guys think?
Dave
