Restored my gt380 approx 9 years ago. After the resoration the bike has run 937 miles.(1500 km). When i tuned the bike, 9 years ago, it worked perfectly. Suddenly, last year, the left cylinder stopped fireing. Thought it was time to make it run again and so i tried to do. I have been tuning everything according to the book. First, i ajusted the gap on points. Also, i used a 500 sandpaper to clean the points contacts to be sure it clean and flat. Used some electrical cleaner on paper afterward to clean away dirt on contacts surface. Then, when the points are ajusted and cleaned, it was time to adjust the timing. I took out the sparkplugs and used a gauge to make sure the plug fires 3mm before top by twisting timingplate. I have connected a lamp to the points to see when it opens.( Coyote, yes, im using the lamp u sent me 10 years ago)
Ok, now down to my problem. Since the center and right points are ajustable there is no problem to ajust them correctly. The problem is the left point. The left point is fixed to the timeplate which make it ajustable only by twisting the timing plate. I cant tune the left point to spark 3mm before top point.To be able to do that i need to twist the timing plate more but it has now been twisted to the maximum of what is posible. Now im thinking: how is that posible???
The bike runs but im not happy. It seems to me that it doesnt burn the fuel as it supose to do. There is a lot of unburned fuel in the pipes. Im starting to think that since the bike has hardly been used the carbs should have a inside cleaning.
