06 midnight edition.
Ran great last year when i parked it for the winter. Ive been building a house (literally everything by myself) amd over the winter didnt have time to fire it up at all. I knew the battery would be shot so a few weeks ago bought a new battery for it and suited up...no start. It will crank all day long. If I hold the throttle wide open it will put put put and blow some flames out the exhaust.(unburnt fuel). Pulled a plug and it smelled horrible so i bought new iridium plugs and dismantled the bike enough to get the reserve tank out and cleaned both tanks and fuel pump strainer. Reassembled and same thing.
Plugs are covered with fuel but Spark seems weak to me. Input voltage at the dyna coils is just over 12 volts. Both front and rear cylinders have the weakish spark. When I reassembled it, i dumped some seafoam in first then fresh premium gas. It seems to want to pop and puut more and am getting a little whitish smoke out of the exhaust. Hooked my laptop to the pcv and that still has my map and it was reading throttle position and what not just fine.
Im thinking its either somethings up with the coils and its just not putting out enough energy (but both of them????), there isnt enough compression because it sat for months, or the lifters bled down and so the timing of the valves is off? What should i check next? Btw i dont have a left side dry break so taking the tank off is going to suck if i have to do that again.
I have not changed the oil yet as i figured i wanted to warm it up first. Mentally...I need to be able to ride this beast. Ive been working 7 days a week after work,on my house since september. And we have a road trip planned for next weekend.
