Dies if you roll on the throttle too quick regardless if its hot or cold
Misfires at high RPM's
Output of the left exhaust is considerably less than the right exhaust
After running for a bit, the left exhaust is considerably cooler than the right to the touch.
So far I have cleaned the carbs
Swapped the plugs from side to side; no difference
Plugs and points look good
To the naked eye, the spark seems to be the same between both sides
My first thought is the coil due to one header running much cooler than the other and the lack of exhaust output on one side. I’m second guessing myself though due to what seems like a similar spark on both sides to the naked eye.
I was then thinking it might be fuel starvation on the left side, but if I run the bike and then pull the plug, its wet with gas.
Last thought is that maybe there is some sort of compression issue, in turn snowballing into a misfire issue. I don’t have a compression gauge to check it out. The bike is a 76 but only has about 2700 miles. So my only thought with compression would be a bad gasket as I wouldn’t imagine the rings shitting the bed when the bike was hardly used.
Do I go the coil route? Finding a good one for a bike this old may be a challenge, but maybe there is a way I can use a more modern after market coil? Or should I be barking up a different tree all together?
