Hi guys,
My Max starts and runs every time, but sometimes the right rear cylinder is not firing. It's funny (haha) that it runs so well that I had trouble being sure if it was running on all 4 or not. I now know the bike well enough that I can recognize it immediately. The strange thing is that all I have to do is pull the lead off of the plug and the put it back on once or twice and then it's fine??? I can hold it just at the top of the plug and here it ticking, a little farther and it kicks in and then sometimes when I click it all of the way on it quits. Do it again and then it's O.K. and doesn't stop until the next time or sometimes it won't do it again for weeks. Any ideas?
I'm using Nology hot wires and iridium plugs, all in what seem to be very good condition. There is the coolant hose clamp on that cylinder that touches or almost toucher the lead same as the front left, Arcing maybe? I've been very careful and have ruled out the coil side of things. I've pulled the coil side of the lead off and it is definitely sparking on that end. I look forward to any of your ideas or input.
I didn't know if this should be an engine or electrical topic so I posted it here.
