Hot dam well I'e been working on this beast for a while now I've done a bunch of stuff related to the carbs and leaks that I fixed. I cleaned carbs out once again then bought a chemical dip for them left em in there for about 15 hours took them out and they looked crispy also did this too all the mini parts jets and stuff of course everything looks clear to me no clogs or anything. Then I fixed the oil leak I was having (one bolt is missing because when i removed the bolts they all broke off into the engine and the very last one i used the extractor on it broke off into the bolt so i fixed that leak) and my petcock leak i was having all i( did for those was switch out the gaskets and get a new bolt to put into the gas tank with with thicker threads and walaah no more leaking.) I then changed the spark plugs put new ones in. After I got the oil back into the bike and everything set up did a cold compression test just to double check they were both at 145 so i figured all good to go. when I start her up and she idles for a good 30 seconds strongly then just dies out of nowhere as usual same problem I was having before. Sometimes if i hold the throttle down for another 30 seconds or so and have the rpm at 1500 it'll stay on for 2-3 minutes and then die out once again. I don't believe my problem is in my carbs or my engine anymore Im convinced its something else. I check the spark plugs cause before they were both fouled and now to my attention the left side is clean but the right side is fouled with carbon. WHatt givess? Also i noticed two things the Rpms sort of stay a little bit up even when the engine is off then after about 20-25 seconds they go all the way back to zero and when it is running its sort of changes noises at times sometimes it more intense and misfires or its just normal and sounds as it should. Also out of the left carb going into the air filter when the bike turns off there was a some smoke not sure if this matters or not just the more the merrier in regards to information i suppose. i would put a video if i could but it doesn't let me You guys always pull through and offer great advice anything will do. Was thinking a possible electrical issue? Maybe an ignition coil fouled up or something. I Know i wrote a lot here probably a pain to read through but yeaa thats what im up to at the moment not sure where else to go stilll researching just curious thanks guys!
