Please, tell me how you can not know for certain whether or not the spark plug in a single cylinder engine is firing or not.

Asked in other words,....what happens when a single cylinder engine starts missing ? Grin

have you changed out the spark plug? I am thinking it is not firing all the time. Clymers manual's troubleshooting says that backfiring can be caused by bad or incorrect sparkplug. that is what I will be checking next.

Also, do you have washer mod done?

2003 savage...
has new slip on harley exhaust # 64941-01

Ok I finally have pulled the carb on a lean/hot running bike that performs well…. Wink

pulled plug and its dry grey ....

Dropped bowl on bottom and ,I found that I have a 52.5 for a pilot and have a 55 from lancer here so going to put that in…
Also the main is a 155… think I may stay with that rather than go with the 150 I have here…
Top of carb under needle diaphragm I found smaller jet a 45..
Bigger jet under diaphragm is a 230…
After taking screws out of needle I found that I had two metal washers….. if? there was a third I sure could not get it out of there..
Put two washers back in that fell out and screws and plate… reassembled…
I have the bike in shambles right now as I am doing all sorts of things before I put her back together again…
The carb was on this list…
Having some issues with adjusting the valves though..?
maybe my aircooled vw’s just have me spoiled is all.. Wink

Hang up that cell phone and let us that Ride LiVE....~!~
