misfiring, but running help was created by tinguy
hello all..... i just baught '81 kz1000ltd..... bike has been sitting since last fall, so im told.... anyways i just got the bike running, it runs like its only running on 3 cylinders, i did check for spark ( the old fashioned way, grounding plug to head), spark appears to look a lil bit weak, i know they run like this from time to time, as my fathers did, but i really dont feel like changing plugs everytime i wanna ride it... alson the 2 inboard plugs ( #2 & #3) appear to get a lil bit of oil on them I'll assume rings but thats not the question.... 1st i just want to get it running smooth, and no the wires are not mixed up... although i did try switching #1 & 2 wires just to see what would happen made a very slight differance but definately not a good one did the same with 3 & 4 no change, all 4 appear to fire ( all four header tubes get hot..... bike just runs extremely rough

any ideas?

thanks in advance
