T500 Suzuki Right cylinder not firing
Posted: Wed Oct 04, 2017 12:11 pm
Hello, everyone i have been reading these forums for quite a while but never felt the urge to post until now.
So here is the deal, i'm rebuilding my T500 engine and thought i was in the homestretch when couple weeks ago i kicked her up only to find out that the right cylinder isn't running properly.
Some smoke comes from the muffler but it only flows out and doesn't come out in the "popping" manner it comes from the left exhaust, also it doesn't get nearly as hot.
When i proceeded to remove the right hand exhaust about a tea cups worth of black splooge came out of it.
Sometimes the right cylinder fires and a cloud of smoke comes out. This seems to happen especially when the engine is revved.
Strangely even before the engine rebuild the right hand side ran worse than the left. So perhaps it's not related to the engine rebuild?
So here is what i have already done or replaced in the bike.
-Crankshaft rebuilt with new bearings and seals

-New 72mm pistons and rings

-New left cylinder, as the old had cracked ports, also rebored both cylinders to 72mm
-1400cc gearbox oil modification
-New engine and cylinder seals
-Tympanium regulator rectifier
-New points
-New spark plugs
-5 months old battery
Here is what i have already done and inspected.
-Cleaned carbs during engine rebuild
-Checked wiring and connections during engine rebuild
-Swapped carbs = still left cylinder runs, right doesn't
-Adjusted points gaps to 0.35mm and adjusted timing with a timing gun = no effect
-Checked for spark = both spark plugs have blue spark
-Swapped coils and spark plug caps = no effect
-Swapped condensers = no effect
-Took exhausts off = no effect
Is there something i'm missing or should do? Any help and suggestions are warmly welcomed as this is turning into a quite the mystery.
