need timing and carb help in OKC, OK area.

I am having troubles getting my bike timed and tuned. It was running really well just rich, until last night when it seemed to have lost 2 cylinders. This happened before, but it came back, and I assumed it was just fuel starvation. This morning It would not start and just coughed and burbled. I tried to clean, dress, and reset the points, and it never has been the same. I did put in 100 jets,(running stock airbox) 105's were in there before and it was really rich. It is a little better but less responsive on the low end, and little power on the top. I am at a loss, and was wondering if there were any locals that could help a brotha out.

What kinda bike ya got?

78 kz650B no mods. I cant figure out how to add a signature.

Probably fouled a couple plugs since you said it was running rich. Why it was running rich is another thing.
I would ditch the points and go with Dyna S ignition.

I actually just ordered a dyna S. I had 105s and that was making it run rich, I dropped down to 100's because I had them around, I think it has helped, I am just hoping I am not too lean now.

Am thinking fuel starvation issue would cause lean condition (not sooty-plug rich).

Would check float bowl fuel levels, using the clear plastic tube test.
Even in otherwise perfect carbs, too high = rich, and too low = lean.

Good Luck!

ok checked the voltage to the coil, and it was a wopping 10.84v. Guessing thats not going to do. I am in the process of repowering the coils, via the wired george method. Also checked battery voltage and it sat at 13v. I think I have tracked down at least one problem...

Had the same symptoms when I first got my `77 B1

IMHO, sounds as if you are on the right track.

This is how I implemented the WG Coil Repowering mod on my B1.

Hope this is useful.

Best of success.

If you need a reputable shop in OKC try Chris Wedman over at Wedman Motorsports. He's honest and reasonable.

I may use him. My uncle is actually an acclaimed mechanic here locally too. Gary Drummond, and I think he works around the same area.

bill I think this will help too. You da wiring man! I am coming straight of the battery for my power source with an inline fuse to make sure I am getting full voltage. Later I may change to a blade type fuze box.

its amazing what a new ignition system will do. I repowered the coils, and installed a dyna s. I was running dark black and sooty plugs before,now with the same set up my plugs are completely white.

I think its the right direction, I have 102.5s to through in there tomorrow.
