its completely OFF. its only the ITBs showing. thats how i had to get it home due to the nike dying when i oput it on from not enough air
ok update
So we tested spark on all wires, 7mm or greater per the manual
the pickup in the right side crank case cover was good we ohmed it out and stuff
but now the left bank of carbs are overloading, and pouring fuel out
any race carbs around i can get? if im gonna get new ones might as well upgrade right?
also What kind of spark plug wire from NGK should i be using, the packs all have like 3 characters on the top right for the different types

If you can get them, there is flat slide carbs but they are well rare and cost a fortune!
Theres not anything stupid like a hole in the float bowls in the carbs is there? Weird how they have just suddenly started flooding. Do they only do it when the bike is running? Wondering if your fuel pump is playing up?
