This weekends question

OK. My GT550 is stone cold. I fire it up and run for 10 seconds and kill it. The center exhaust is hot all the way to where the taper begins on the chamber. The right is hot about 7" from the cylinder. The left ( the highest compression one) is only hot about 2" out.
What gives with that??

I'd guess that all of them are not firing consistantly at first. My Kaw does that sometimes when cold.

That is normal with Pinky also, only normally it is the right exhaust. Once it warms up a little, goes away, so I have never worried about it.

Even a super-hot ignition system would have trouble firing the "mixture" in a stone-cold stroker

My old Suzi X7 had the excellent PEI system which made a spark you could arc-weld with, AND platinum plugs, and it would still cough, fart and run lumpy until you got a mile or two under the wheels

As long as it's running evenly when it's warmed up, that's fine.
