misfire

Post by Andy1671 »

Hi
I am new here and could do with some help or advice
After the front cct let go i have changed both front inlet valves plus gaskets and both ccts but now she has developed a misfire at 7000 rpm
she is also a bit of a pig at idle and seems very lumpy the miss appears more or less instantly and does not smooth out i have drained both carbs and pulled the carb breathers out so they hang in the wind but i am now out of ideas has any body got any ideas that i might try .the compression seems right and the valve timing also seems right
Thanks

Andy,

Hi (i responded to your post on Bikechat, under the name of gadfium).

do you have a manual, and have you tried troubleshooting the electrics?

Hello Pete
This bit of information could be a life saver as there is nothing like this mentioned in the haynes .I will strip it again(umpteenth time) and check it is right but as you have had the same probelm it probably isnt
Thanks a lot
Andy
