And it did not sound good. Not firing on all four cylinders, carbs leaking, and exhaust and/or bent valves? I did a cold/dry compression test prior to start-up on all four cylinders, and saw 100+ psi. So, that was a good start. However, upon startup, it's easy to confuse a bent valve noise with exhaust leaks.
Carbs will have to come back off to see why they're leaking, and another compression test to see if I did indeed bend some valves (again).
However, I coulda sworn I put about two gallons of gas in the tank, but when I lifted up the tank to take it off, it felt too light for two gallons. I had the bike on "On", so maybe there was not enough gas and I shoulda had it on Reserve, thus not firing on all 4 cylinders.
Idk, not enough time in the day anymore. Holidays, birthdays, etc., rob me of any diagnosing time. Hope to pull the carbs back off soon and see what the deal is.
