Loss of one cylinder
TrapperAH1G:
Number 2 cylinder is the only one that seems not to change the idle when disconnected. Changed the plug, no improvement. Played around with the wire, connector and it cured it......for a while, then it lost power again. Will check for spark tomorrow.
I run techron in my tank every 3rd tank or so.

I just had one that was a coil break down. We gave the coil to a shop that knew how to test.
I tried to find the OHMS test , but couldn't come up with the numbers.
They said it would break down under load. Replaced the coil and all is good.

Finally got a day that wasn't windy and rainy. Removed the tank, thinking I'd trim the wire at the coil, then change the plug wire if that didn't work. As soon as I looked at the coil I saw that the ground wire nut was almost all the way backed off. Tightened it down, put the tank on and connected the lines, fired up and all is good. No idea why that nut was loose, the other ground wire nut on that coil was tight.
Thanks for all the input, suggestions. Ride safe. Tomorrow, Sunday, am riding with my son and grandson.

Glad it was an easy and cheap fix :cooldude:
Can't remember hearing of this issue before.

Well, Deja Vu. Happened again, same cylinder. No loose connections this time. Getting spark to cylinder, has compression. Gas in carb bowl. Plug not fouled, switched with another cylinder and it runs fine, while #2 is still "idle". Have a couple of friends coming tomorrow to help. Will keep you posted, feel free to contribute thoughts.
