hey all,
merry christmas! just got out of work, and decided to start the sled for the first time in a while. out of curiosity decided to feel how hot the heads were getting. noticed that the outer 2 were noticably warmer than the middle one, and then decided to feel the exhaust pipes. coming off the outer 2 they were piping hot, and the middle one was still cold to the touch.......
sled is 99 srx700
i didnt think that a triple would run on only 2 cylinders? unplugged the middle wire and it ran the same. unplugged the exhaust side wire and it ran worse, but still ran. pulled all 3 plugs and they looked the same. put in another set for the hell of it, and ran a bit better, but i couldnt tell with the heat difference because the engine was already warmed up by this point. what do i do now?
checked spark and compression when i first got the sled, and it was fine. not running any different than it was the day i got it
