Squealing noise around stator and slow return to idles

[Brickyard]

So, my slow return to idle issue ended up being the bike running on only the left right cylinder. It was further narrowed down to my left carburetor being faulty.

This replacement goes on tonight, and I'm crossing my fingers.

Old on the left, new on the right.


Thanks again, LM!

No joy with new carb, but I did find an erratic timing light on the left side. It took the darkness of night for me to catch what I couldn't during the day.

My ignition is electronic, so can I just say bad coil and call it a day? I've done EVERYTHING else.

Btw anyone need a newer style left side pw26 carb body? $20 + shipping.

Resistance in both coils are between 4.5 - 4.9 ohms.

Pulled all wires connecting to coils, tested them, good resistance, cleaned connections, reset wires, started the bike, same issue on the left side. At idle and above, the light will cut out, and sometimes for a second or more.

lifted tank
pulled wires
swapped coils
installed wires
dropped tank
started the bike
no difference
pulled out gun
shot the bike

saved $30 on an impulse coil purchase. now to find a faulty wire somewhere in the left side ignition wiring.

Did you pull your plugs to make sure neither are fouled? If neither are fouled swap them side for side and see if the problem follows.

Thanks for the tip, HT. I've been cleaning blackened plugs for the past week or so, and have swapped them every time.

Got anymore tips? I might not have covered everything.
