Hey guys,
So I've got a 1978 XS650 that Im currently bringing back to life and it's giving me some issues.
Issue:
-Right exhaust gets really hot and pressure coming out feels somewhat low, not blowing my hand if I hold it loose
-Left exhaust is completely cold to where I can touch it after riding 10 min and it has lots of pressure coming out of it to where my hand gets blown back
-Excess gas is sometimes coming out of left cold exhaust too, but no oil or anything else
-Generally feel there is a lack of power; Takes awhile (15-20 seconds) to get to 55-60MPH -If I don't let out the clutch super slow when taking off it kinda wants to die from what it feels like; I have to keep the throttle 3/4 to full when taking off which doesn't feel right.
Facts:
-1978 XS650
-BS38 carbs; Completely cleaned w/ carb/brake cleaner and air compressor
-New jets; Pilot and Main are close to the richest side on the scale due to exhaust and air filter mods
-Carbs synced on the butterfly opening, but not with an actual gauge
-Right exhaust is yellowing on header by engine mount/Left is untouched
-Mikes XS Performance Reverse Cone Megaphone Muffler 17.25" x dual exhaust
-Mikes XS pods
-Pamco electronic ignition and black 2 out coil
-145-150PSI range compression on both cylinders; Tested 3 times
-Have swapped plugs/plug wires; Both plugs getting perfect spark
-Left spark plug is always wet with gas
Any ideas? I know the right cylinder tends to run a bit leaner, but I know it shouldn't be this different
