The problem is that he right hand cylinder is not firing at idle.
It will fire at higher revs when the throttle is advanced/engaged.
Situation: both carbs cleaned and adjusted but not balanced and rebuild kit installed in right carb - no change.
Compression good, cam chain adjustment good, timing set - points system.
Carbs from neighbour's xs fitted to the xs2 and bike idles reasonably well.
XS2 carbs fitted to neighbour's bike and right cylinder won't fire at idle.
Right hand carb cleaned again ( ultrasonic, carb cleaner, compressed air).
The carb body does not show any structural damage or corrosion.
I would think that with the work to date that the problem is definitely the carb.
Is there any secret or trick with the Mikuni Solex BS 38 that could cause this situation??
Thanking you in advance for any help.
