[QUOTE="chrisbags, post: 98886, member: 2331"] That's the funny part. Once it's warm she's totally fine. One of the carbs seems to be running a bit rich as I get some smoke on some starts, it blows itself out in 10 seconds or so, only comes out the right side exhaust. (I think the accelerator pump is on that side, is it same side as fuel pump?) To me the really wacky thing is that if I roll her, then pop her into gear and hit the starter at the same time she fires right up. Motor turns like butter. I can hand turn it with a wrench at the back of the stator cover in neutral with no problems. The only thing that coincides with this that strikes me as possible is that I added a trunk as you can see in the pics in the gallery, it has running lights and a 12V adapter in it. It could be possible that's pulling the current down below where the coils need to be to fire properly. I checked the plugs not too long ago and they were not fouled at all. I have kept the oil changed, averaging a change every 1500 miles just due to the time it takes to ride that many. I ride a lot but mostly short hops - I'm not all that deep into motor mechanics so I'm really scratchin my head on this one. Thanks for taking the time to look at the posts though guys! [/QUOTE]
