I'm in love...

Yah Jay, who'd a thunk it?!!? As long as the weather holds up...

You got my vote! Wanna do mine next???

DING DING DING!!! We may have a winner!!!!! Tested the spark, good to around 0.070. pulled vent hose and tried blowing through it, clogged! Pulled the hose out and found a big chunk of something at the end. Not sure if it fixed it as the air cleaners and plenum are off the bike but it seems better. Still want to set floats anyway but may not as curiosity is getting the better of me...

Hmmm. Up by 9, take a pill. Read email and VR. Eat breakfast. Play video game. Suck coffee. Ignore wife! Take a crap and take more pills. Finally get dressed and get mail! Decide what honey do project will get started today. Eat lunch. Work around the house. Eat dinner. Watch TV. Take still more pills and go to bed after the 11:00 news...

I am going over to Auto Zone this AM and buying an adjustable ignition spark tester that goes to ground to measure the spark. Actually, according to the Yamaha service manual using an inline the minimum acceptable gap is 0.031" so added to the 0.035" plug gap I should get to 0.066" without losing spark...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ruffy!!!!!

Thanks Neil!!! I WILL look there first!! A quick blast of air should clear any obstructions. Dion, I just figured out, I can test the coil primaries from the igniter connector!!

No, but did find as leaf! Put Brand new K&N's today. At first I suspected a bad left air filter but then found out they are interconnected...

Not yet, can't get to the left front. Once again though, 2 going bad at the exact same time??? It's on the adjenda...

Back in May the bike ran fine. It sat since then and now is misfiring and lacks Power. Pulled the plugs and found the left side all carbon'ed up and wet while the two right ones were fine. Put new plugs in it but it didn't fix it. Ran a heavy dose of sea foam through the tank and put around 100 miles but that didn't fix it. Filled the carbs up with seafoam and let it soak overnight, didn't help. Ran seafoam through each vacuum line, and then pulled the new plugs and they had the same as the old plugs, the left ones black and fouled, the right ones look like new. OK compression test and all cylinders good. Vacuum on all 4 carbs are equal. Today removed the plenums and sprayed a whole can of carb cleaner through the carbs. Still not fixed. I have a set of used coils to substitute out but the front left coil is near impossible to get to. I am now also suspecting the ignition module so I bought one off fleabay but it won't be here until next Friday. Tomorrow I am pulling the carbs to inspect and clean them and set the floats using the "Goose" method. I really don't think it is a carb problem as I have a hard time believing both on one side would go out at the same exact time. I am getting spark but who knows if it is happening at the right time on #1 and #2. Tomorrow I am also going to check the TPS for range of motion, the resistor element is in speck, I just don't have someone to twist the throttle while I hold the meter on the pins. I will also check the pickup coil but I doubt it is bad, the bike runs and #3 and #4 seem to fire fine. So I am really racking my brains trying to figure out what would cause 2 plugs to foul out simultaneously without the other two being affected...

You're about a year late for mine, long gone...

Puc now I am CONVINCED you are 100% totally crazy!!! I like it!

Don't you need a LOT of them? After all they are sooo tiny...

What he said!!!

My typing has improved...

Well, the memory for the odometer is in a module, so if the original speedometer's memory is still intact maybe you could transplant it into the new one. I'm not sure of where the chip is so check with a dealer's service department...

Me too!

Prayers sent for you Rick, hoping all turns out OK for you!!

May also be overfilled...

I was just thinking about him the other day too!!

I have a system to avoid that, my AM meds are in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom, and my PM meds are on my night stand...

Been there, done that!!!

Seafoam, it's not just for breakfast any more...

Phew!! I didn't study, or how do you email a urine sample???
