On my way home today it started to run rough, the idle lowered WAY down, and it ran even rougher.


I got home and popped in the colortune to see what is going on.

Number 4 is okay, got to number three and it started to backfire!!!?!?!??
So I tried to get it to fire using the pilot screw adjustment, no change. Changed spark plugs, no change....

WHAT NOW?!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Why cant I have a normal month with this bike?!

Have you checked the vacuum line on #3 intake?

[jetmechmarty]

Swap the #2 & #3 plug wires. Does the issue move to #2?

[sparkfly88]

Vac line is hooked up.

I will swap the wires when its not pouring down

[sparkfly88]

So..... I uh.... Had 3 and 4 on the wrong plugs.....

[jetmechmarty]

That was easy!

So..... I uh.... Had 3 and 4 on the wrong plugs.....

We all make some kind of mistakes in life. Just chalk it up to experience and it will serve you well for many years to come.

[sparkfly88]

Yeah.... I really don't know how I did it either.

I sat there looking at the wires and realized one was longer than the other, that's when I noticed my wires were reversed.


So now one more minor problem that's been haunting me since I got it...
