Even More Problems. -__-

I think it is now time for the carb experts to start chiming in.
If both sides spark, then you seem to have a flooding problem.

I'd first do a simple compression test with my thumb over the spark plug hole. (both sides so I have a comparison). Possibly exhaust valve not closing so fuel just passes through? Flooding?

Could it just be from my air and fuel mixture being off?

[adidasguy]

The experts in that area would know better.

If the mixture screw has been messed with, then quite possibly it is way too rich. You can check it. 2.5 to 3.5 turns out is the sweet spot. 2.5 is leaner, 3.5 is richer.

ok so you have figured out that your right cylinder is not firing but has spark.
and the plug is covered in oil and gas.
do as adidasguy suggests and try the compression test. if it seems low you may have to adjust your valves. one not closing all the way will not allow enough compression to build to fire the clylinder.
how many miles are on the bike?
if compression seems ok looks like its time to tear into the carbs, stuck float or clogged air jets.

I haven't touched it, but there's no tellin, cause it's at my aunts house right now. I'll check on it tomorrow and see.

There's about 11500

Do I have to take my carburetor off to get to the mixture screw?

[Badot]

That's an old image Kerry had posted a long time ago. The mix screw sits inside that little aluminum tubey section. From the factory they come with plugs over them so you can't adjust them, or the EPA would poop their pants.

You can get to them with a very short screwdriver. I believe 3/16 flathead is a decent size for them. There are threads on the edge of that tube so be careful if you do it without pulling the carbs.

$5 says a valve check/adjust and a good carb clean will get the bike running like new.

I agree, jestercinti. lol I noticed today that there was a little gas coming out of my airbox drain hose.. the one by my right peg. My petcock is in the ON position. So it is flooding?
