Okay, will sync tomorrow. I'm really happy i fixed the carb leak and she fires right up.

#2 is cold. what can be some causes for a cylinder to not fire?

So it could be that plug not firing causing the knock.
Cold could be over rich or not getting any gas, no spark, fouled plug.

That about covers it.

Easy method to check for spark?

Wet your finger, place it on the spark plug wire between the wire and the top of the plug and crank? :smilie_happy:

Sorry, just funnin....... :doh: :hihihi:

One of these is far less painful.

Sheesh...Plug a good spark plug in, lay it on the engine to ground it then crank and look for a spark.

Sometimes I wonder about our members from NJ!

Good news. I bought a spark plug tester and #2 has a strong spark. I started her up and tapped on #2 carb, Presto :rocks: She is running, all systems go :moped: All cylinders are running.

I will post a video tomorrow. I still need to sync carbs though but I'm very pleased my carbs are holding up and the exhaust sounds Kick A :sensored: k:

Man, this bike is a monster with these pipes but I know, she's the Wanderer part 2 :fiddle:

 

[slabghost]

That is indeed great news! Congratulations!

 

[joedrum]

No need to wet your finger :nea:

You know, that may have worked without even getting your finger wet.

Okay, carbs are synced and bike seems to be running great. No backfiring and all cylinders are running, however, there is still a rattling noise coming from the back of the engine, doesn't sound right.
Here's a video and notice the rattling sound when I pan in.

Check the stator bolt is tight.

 

[slabghost]

Agreed. First thing to check.
