mann i got extra lazy to do this but it seemed like my f3 was running very poorly and only on 2 cylinders.. i brought her to the shop.. to get the carbs cleaned.. the dude told me about all the other problems about her and said it would prob cost me over $1,000 to get her to pass inspection, he said things like theres a nail in my tire, back breaks were touching the rotors a bit and the wires were poorly connected.. i was like dude just clean the carbs for me and put new spark plugs.. which would cost about $400 so hes telling me the rest of the problems would be around $6-700 my mans crazy..

my question tho is if it was only running on 2 cylinders, what could the problems be? fuel pump works btw

 

If your not running on all 4 theres a few things that are suspect. Not in any order: plugs, wires, coil, carbs, valves, and compression. Any of them can cause a cylinder not to fire at all or partially. Good luck, and where do you live that requires inspection on a bike ?

 

maryland, where do you live that doesnt require inspection? o.O

 

If you need help, I live in DC.

 

Southern Indiana No inspection here on auto's or bikes.....

 

$400 sounds bout right for a mechanic that doesn't want to work on an old carbed bike

 

I got mine cleaned from a guy on craigslist for 20.00 an hour. Cost me 50 bucks. Should check craigslist first.

 

its kinda hard for me now cuz i dont have a truck to pull it back out of the shop.. and even if i did, i would already have to pay 100 just for the diagnosis, kinda too late now.. just hopinh it is the carbs thats the problem

 

shout out to living in rural illinois, where i can cut the **** out of exhaust and not have to take an emissions test!!!

 

Are you guys serious?? You have to e-test your bikes? That is total BS!!
