A 650rider
Just limped my bike back to work, after a short 15min. ride. I started to notice a miss on just the right cylinder. It slowly got worse and worse. Kind of acting like "out of gas, or dying battery" By the time I had gotten back to work, the right side wasn't firing but only occasionally. Spatting. The symptom was its worst when it was in gear/under load...running on one cylinder mostly... in neutral it didn't seem to be so bad.
I did some preliminary checks. The tank valve on that side flows gas ok. When in neutral and at idle, if I remove the right-hand spark-plug wire, the bike will stall immediately (This bike is set up with a double lobed cam and dual output coil...not sure if removing the plug wire and stalling is tell-tale of my problem, another problem, or not a problem...pretty sure it would do the same on the left...)
The left side works fine. The right side will have a successful igniting stroke every so often if I open the throttle wide open.
Is it spark or fuel?
I'm hoping it runs better after cooling off or something so I can go home.
This is on a blue 77
Thanks!
