Hey guys,
I'm back with more newbie questions. And thanks for the help on the last issue (fuse box stuff). I now have my 79 XS11SF starting up ok but am encountering issues with the exhuast smoking really bad and backfires. The second cylinder has a lot of black buildup where the exhaust pipe leaves the block and when I look at the joints where the corresponding pipe goes into the other and the last joint I see it smoking bad. The smoke is gray (well, not black or super white). I also noticed the boots going from the carbs into the block looking pretty cracked. Is this all related to each other and if so what kind of diagnosis might one of you be able ot give me and tips on fixing it. I have the clymers manual so that will help me pulling anything apart (i just don't want to start digging into the wrong thing)!
Thanks again,
Sebastian
