Hi,

Blocked crankcase vent (this would be common to both cylinders), bad oil rings.

Rings?  You never know who was in there before you and botched things up.

Don't know if these will give any insight or not, but......plug pics and a short video of the exhaust

As Mick said and also have you checked timing? I have read some of your past posts but don’t remember if this was covered.

Did you find a bike? Think I’ll sell mine. 2200 miles and nice. A Classic Silverado. Carbs rebuilt and synced last year runs and looks really good.

I have a short list of last ditch things to check when I get back to Birmingham. Bike is about 5 hrs away, so I only get a little while to look into it when we go through there. Hopefully, I can get it down here in a couple of months and be able to spend a little time to give some numbers in here and see what comes up next.

Thanks to you and Mick for the input

2600, guess I rode a little more than I thought. Lexington Ky. Don’t know why it posts sideways
