[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 138986, member: 3756"] I think this project has met a trajic end. That intermittent miss wouldn't go away switching plugs caps or lines and had spark the way it was, and may be more than intermittent. I thought maybe the rings were clogged with carbon so tried the water down the carb trick. I used a 20oz water bottle and kept the rpms between 2-3k, put 2 bottles of water in slow enough not to stall the bike out and ended up with water in my crankcase oil. It did seem to help smooth out the engine but then the next morning same problem, cyl 4 stays cold while others heat up. Seems that it doesn't start firing cyl 4 until the bike is warm if at all. I can only guess that this motor probably needs new rings and cylinders honed and I'm guessing that requires engine out and disassembled. I think I just wasted all this time and money for nothing. Am I right? Is this project dead in the water? I don't have tools or skills to do new rings and hone cylinders. [/QUOTE]
