I tried checking my float levels, but it seemed gas kept leaking out of the screw area so I wasn't able to get a good measurement. I checked all of the float bowl screws and the little rubber gasket on each screw was all chewed up. Could that cause any problems? The bowls don't leak gas or anything.
In float bowl for cylinder 2, I did find some jellied-gas. The bike had been sitting with old gas for a while, so this is not totally surprising. I had filled the tank up with fresh gas, but I had not drained the old gas. Would fuel stabilizer dissolve any jelly in the tank? I didn't find any jellied-gas in any other carbs and I sprayed the jet passages clean with cleaner and compressed air. I think this definitely could be contributing to the issue.
The diaphragms looked free of tears except for on cylinder 4. The very outside edge of the diaphragm is cracking:
I don't think this a particularly big deal, but I'd like your opinions!
Additionally, I was able to check the spark in cylinders 3 & 4 before the battery died from cranking it too much. I was getting good, consistent spark on cylinder 4. On cylinder 3, I wasn't getting consistent spark, but that may have been from the battery dying. I'm going to check again tomorrow. I wasn't able to double check the cylinder pressures because the battery died.
I didn't run the bike at all today, I just wanted to take a look at everything to make sure it was all copacetic.
Seems like you are running lean on 1and 2. Rich on 3 and 4. Check your float levels.
Not quite sure how float levels affects running rich. I thought the richness was determined by the jets and the balance.
