First time posting. Ive searched far and wide and cant find anything that pertains to my issue. I have a 76 xs650 that was running great. Then broke down one day after riding about 10 mi. After a few min the bike would fire up then die. Thought it was the coils, changed them and the bike seemed to be fine for a day. Went on a ride and about 2mi in the exhaust note from the right cylinder totally changed and power wasn't as great. Made it home and have tried everything with no avail. Here is what ive done/ parts im running.
New plugs
New coils
New points and condenser
Rebuilt carbs [stock bs38s]
Uni foam air filters
Straight pipes
Checked valves
Checked timing
All fuses look good
All grounds and wires seem in place
Compression is at 115 on both sides.
Bike will fire on first kick and idle great but when I rev it up the right exhaust is considerably louder then the left. Has a very brappy type sound to it. When riding it doesn't get up go like it used to and back fires a lot. Plug on said side looks wet when pulled and cylinder is warm. What am I missing? What would make one side way louder then the other? Have any of you experienced this before? Im hitting a wall. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
