  • 1980 KZ440- ONE EXHAUST HEADER HOT THE OTHER NOT?

    The right cylinder is getting spark to the plug. But it isnt firing. the left exhaust header is nice and hot like you'd expect. but the right is barely warm. there is very little smoke coming from the rear exhaust. noticed a couple drops off gas up near the exhaust flange. took plug out and it is wet. tested good for blue spark. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AND WHAT IS THE REMEDY?

    THANKS ALL......I'M SO FRUSTRATED.

  • KZ440 One exhaust header gets hot the other doesnt.?

    I have a 1980 KZ 440 which has new spark plugs and spark goint to each plug. The right cyclinder is giving me greif. I rode the bike down the street and the left exhaust header is normal nice and hot cant touch it!! But the right exhaust header is barely warm. I have very little smoke coming from the back of the exhaust. The spark plug is getting spark, however when i removed it had a wet look to it and up near the exhaust flange I noticed gas / oil occasionally dripping. Have not compression tested the cyclinder yet. What could it be and what is the remedy?

  • why is my 1980 kz440 leaking gas at the exhaust flange in front of motor.?

    the carbs were sent out and professionally cleaned and underwent ultrasonic cleaning with all new hardware. they are not dirty so lets rule that out. i am getting gas blow by on the right side cyclinder. gas / oil mixture is dripping right where teh exhaust mounts to the head. what could be the cause of this? intake and exhaust valves were adjusted, new intake boots, airbox boots good shape. any ideas?
