Selling my 78' xs 650 277 rephase. Selling because I've spent the last two years trying to get it running perfectly but can't seem to get it right. I'm doing a lot more working on my bike than I am riding and I ain't no mechanic. Learned a lot but want to sell it to someone who actually knows...
Im pretty sure all of my problems lie within the carbs. My cam chain timing was fine. I believe we go through how to check if its correct in this thread. As of now my bike has a massive air leak on the left choke housing of my carb, and I'm pretty much over trying to get it running right. Trying...

Yea I'll check it out. Went on a ride with my dad and the bike broke down. Pulled to the side and fuel was pouring out of my carbs. Got it home, pulled the plugs and my right plug was soaked with oil or gas. So I'll check the coil resistance plugs and caps and see whats up. Maybe my right...
If I have a pamco 277 ignition. I would not be able to switch the spark plug leads to see if the problem goes to the other side correct? Because the cylinders fire at separate times?
Ahaha duly noted
Did the float test and it seems to be ok. The floats are new and I've tested the valve before. Seems good. Initially I thought that maybe my valve seal was leaking oil into my cylinder thats why my plug is wet? Any thoughts?
