    While I wasa driving the bike home from work it began to fire intermittently on cylinder # 3 & 4. When I checked the carsbs they were both dry. I corrected the problem with the fuel line and then I noticed there was very little spark on the two plugs. I replaced all 4 plugs and the engine still won't run right. The spark is significantly less on those two cylinders than on #1 & 2. Any suggestions?

    Cyl 3 and 4 don't have anything in common as far as the ign. system goes. Maybe both plug wires and caps are bad due to more sun and rain hitting that side or something? The stock coils are usually weak so I would replace the coils and wires with better ones from Accel or Dyna.
