heres the story
rebuilt engine, had air leak at carb holder, got fixed not 100% but better, took two hour ride (to get back to school), lost left cylinder half way thorough (believed to be because by air leak), ordered new holders from JBM, instaled carb holders, checked timing, also replaced atu springs on rebuild
problems
the bike runs porly at idle and trys to die and back fire out of left carb. when reved it runs much bettter with little or no problems but wants idle to hang up at 3000-3500 if above 1700 when clutch is pulled in. if you get the engine speed below 1500 it will idle at a normal speed
i am wondering what is causing the problem
i have thought that i may still have a minor air leak, maybe a blockage or improper adjustment of carbs (good carb cleaning was my next guess without any other sugestions), or potential damage from running the engine on one cylinder shortly after a rebuild
hopefully someone will have some idea and maybe point me in the right direction
