[QUOTE="sgq700, post: 113735, member: 3318"] Hello All! i have a wierd(to me) problem with a friends 77 naked. i will tell it all, first we had a carb problem so i did a single carb and manif like mine except i used a holley 1bbl from a 62 rambler and after a main jet change, works great!, however it was still down on power but not near as bad as the stock carb set up as they were in dire need of service! away they went! so we ran a compression test and sitting on the bike,left front cyl had 70lbs of compression,left rear had 150lbs. this bike has 38,000 miles. as i pulled plug wires at idle, all made a big drop in rpm except the left front that made zero diff? OK, pulled the head's,it looked like we just caught the head gasket starting to fail on the sealing ring, not blown but getting ready to go. OK!i thought to myself,i pulled the heads (both)apart,lap job on all the valves,seat and cut job looked good,new seals on cam's and valve stems, head gaskets,belts and started it up.. same crap?? All good pulling the plug wires 1 at a time and still left front cyl dead! he has a dyna unit but i dont think that is a problem as the cyl on the other bank,same coil is fine?? So i have a old 80 1100 parts bike and i took the coils and plug wires from that one and wire it up.. NO CHANGE?? Man? I just have no idea?? I have another dyna unit to try on it but i feel it is a waste of time as the unit only triggers a coil not a ind. cyl.
