Guys, you haven't heard much from me, but the Max has been running well and is (for now) modded the way I want it.
But, now I actually need to do something besides normal maintenance. Today on the way home from work after a VERY spirited run up through 4 gears, suddenly the bike is running on like 3 cylinders. This is nothing I haven't done a couple of hundred times, but today I might have sucked something into a carb or something.
Of course, it got me home and I've pulled everything off the top of the carbs in preparation for analysis and treatment tomorrow (Saturday).
My question is this: Can I assume that since this came on after that blast that it's a fueling issue rather than ignition? Is there a quick way to check? All four pipes seemed equally hot when I got home, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not an ignition problem, does it?
Is it time for Ye ole' Shotgun?
