That was fun spent all day trying to find out why my Tiger is only firing on two cylinders :(

The cylinder on the right (no 3 i think) as you sit on the bike is not firing, I can pull the cap of and there is no decrease in revs so i fitted new plugs no good, tried a plug resting in the cylinder head and it was sparking just fine.

I poured some fuel directly into the cylinder through the plug hole, swapped coils and the Diaframes in the top of the carbs around but still no luck.

I then checked valve clearances they were fine.

I couldn't get hold of a compression tester but if i put my hand over the plug hole it was forcing air past my hand no problem i also tried the same test in no 1 cylinder and the compression felt the same.


:tears:tears:tears
 
If you had a 'real' Tiger then 2 cylinders would be running perfect:p
 
Check the coil wiring and connections else it could be the ECU playing up.
