    1978 xs1100 E

    my bike is running rich on 1,2,3 cyls. #4 seems to be right on by reading plugs. Any suggestions?? All so original coils and plugs wires. Can you change out plug wires or are the coils and plug wires made as one unit? Any help would be greatly appreciated. boatdoctor

    Both are located in the Repair section on the main Forum page.

    As far as the carbs go, you probably could benefit from a sync and tune, check the maintenance section for tips or use the search function in the forum to get other threads on the subject.



    Why do you think your running rch anyways? Do you know what jets you have or what needle position you are running? Are you just going off plug color? The more info you give use the better we can help. Welcome to the form!

      The sync would be where to start I would think. That may be the biggest problem.
