So Life had been pretty good for a while. Then the last week the bike would start with an intermittent miss like it did back in march / april. I had solved that problem with replacing the spark plugs with my old spare set. The bike ran fine after the plugs were changed, I've been riding it for months almost daily with no problems, well no major problems. Last week it started in again with in intermittent miss just now and then. Yesterday was worst.
Today, on the way home on a 20 mile ride it sounded like it was missing on two cylinders all the time. Plus it died about the time I pulled into the parking space. I'm thinking its new spark plug time or maybe a vacuum leak. Other then a old dyna ignition (original coils) that came with the bike, the bike is original. Temperature was mid scale on the white, with air temp 86-88.. It had a new tank of fuel today too.
I also have an issue with the idle speeding up and slowing down sometimes. Like there is a temperature range after its warmed up, where it runs faster at idle, say 2200-2500 rpm but then 10-15 minutes later it idles fine. Maybe the advance??? I've not messed with the advance in, well a long time. It's been doing that off and on too. I know I need to have the carbs sync'ed also
Thoughts????
