#3

Getting Serious!

When I bought my bike a little over 2 years ago, I rode it home and found the #3 coil wire broken. I repaired it, and eventually upgraded to Coil Over Plugs (COPs). It's continually had strange "popping" sounds from #3. I have a true 4-into-4 exhaust now, so I can hear and feel what that...

I have a 50 mile commute to work and ended up taking a new way back that had some hills. With the extra load, I found that the amount of shaking from the bike was not bearable in 5th or 4th gear if the engine was spinning around 4000 rpm and I applied throttle to go faster. When I got home, I...

When I purchased my 1999 V-Max, it was a very cold day, so when I test rode it, I did not hit the throttle hard. When I got it home I noticed a wire cut at the #3 coil connector. I repaired it, and ran good. But when starting cold, there is a loud occasional "POP" coming from #3 cylinder (custom...

I just purchased a 1985 V-max and have no spark on #3 cylinder. I tested the current coming out of the TCI and I have current on #1 the Orange lead and #2 the White lead and #4 the Gray lead but nothing on the Yellow #3 lead. Could it be a faulty TCI box? Or something else? Does any body have...

VERY faint spark on cyl. #3..... run great one day and later on #3 went. I just recently replaced the stator and pu coils with used ones (2 mos ago) I checked it with a meter and all are running the same ohms (pu coils) the cdi box seems pretty warm so I'm wondering if its about to go...

Ok. I set my dry float levels according to the casting stamp on the jet block like in the dry float level thread. Right now, my #3 carb is overflowing fuel through the overflow tube. What should I look at?
