In the past two days the 75 GL1000 was having a hard time idling. Its rough and basically dies at 1000 RPMs. At higher RPMs it seems to be steady and with the occasional misfire. I've noticed fuel leaking from the right exhaust pipe. Also Cylinder #1 is cooler to the touch than the other cylinders. I've been reading that it can be either the ignition system (coil,wire,cap) or a stuck float in carb 1. All the plugs are new and have only about 5 miles on them. I've rechecked all the gaps on the plugs (D8EA @ 0.026") as well.
What should I be looking for first? This bike is new-to-me and I'm a novice at this stuff. I also don't have a lot of test equipment or tools for bike calibrations.
