'74 T500 is sick...needs cure.

The Problem:
The right exhaust is a lot weaker than the other. The oil lines are not drawing oil. The bike has diminished power. The right cylinder doesn't fire at low rpms, and not all the time at higher rpms.

What I've tried:
Compression test, Both cylinders are good.
Replaced oil pump unit, banjo bolts and plastic washers.
New condensers and points.

I am thinking about installing a power-dynamo to get rid of all the old stuff.

Does this sound like the right way to go, or is there another route I should take?[/img][/list][/list]

T500s will drop the right cylinder if the battery is weak. I'd try that first.

What the heck is a "power-dynamo" ?? Is this some new technical term that I missed last summer or something ???

Perhaps he means an electronic ignition?
