Brian,
=20
Beer is why were really here! :-)
=20
I think if Bob licks his problems and that bike runs well (which it wil=
l)
 he'll be coming to the Western NY Rally with an inch of fifties in his
pocket. I sure hope there is enough beer in the state of NY for this ra=
lly
 :-)
Is that US 50's or Canadian?

 =20
Yeah...the fact that the bike starts and runs initially indicates that =
he is
 getting a good spark to the cylinders. Seems to me that his problems ar=
e
 with fouling after the initial start up. However I wouldn't rule out an
intermittent ignition failure. Anything is possible till you find the
problem.
=20
Disconnecting the plungers from the cable actuator and retilting the ca=
rbs
 seems would be a quick way to check if that is the problem. Of course =
I
 think that you will need to pull up on the cable initially to be able t=
o
 start the bike.

Just give it a couple of twists of the grip and it should start without t=
he
chokes. I never need them. (of course I'm not in the cold country)

 =20
One thing is for sure.....as soon as the problem is isolated that puppy=
is
 going to run sweet :-)

Jeez, you guys go to extremes just to get some beer! Are loopframe
guys so poor that they can't afford $5 for a six-pack?
Anyways, I don't think Bob's problem is electrical. If the coil is
bad, then the left cylinder wouldn't fire along with the right, since
they both use the same coil. I recently had a problem with my T-3 (whi=
ch
 
 uses 2 coils), where only the left cylinder would fire. I swapped the
wiring on the coils, and then only the right would fire. I thought I h=
ad
 
 a bad coil, but cleaned all the connections, and everything ran fine.
The +12V wire was connected to one coil, and then another wire ran fro=
m
 
 this terminal on the first coil to the +12V terminal on the second coi=
l,
 
 and there was a poor connection in here, so the second coil never got
power.
I also don't think the distributor cap is bad for the same reason. =
If
 
 the distributor cap had a short to ground, it would not affect only th=
e
 
 right cylinder.
I have to go with the choke or leaning carb theories. Can I get som=
e
 
 beer if I agree with the correct answer?
