Hey y'all!
I've got a problem with my 1990 FXR.
It starts up just fine, and runs great for about a mile, and then the front cylinder stops firing. If I shut it off and try to restart, it still doesn't fire; but if I leave it for a while itl run fine again. The exhast will smell like unburnt fuel.
A little about the bike-
Its a '90 FXR with a Zipper 80/80 kit. Spyke single fire coil, Zipper thunderbolt ignition, thunderheader 2-1, 40 3-phase charging system. (previous owner toured with a trailer), and wayyy too much chrome.
I ran a line from my positive terminal to the positive posts on the coil, to test for shorts. Still no good.
I replaced the coil. Still no good.
I pulled the plugs and ran it, and it sparks to ground just fine.
Do any of you have any idea what this might be? I'm mechanically inclined, but inexperienced.
My only other thought is something causing the exhast valve not to seal?
Thanks guys!
