    What Would Make A Rear Jug Cough ? The Front Goes Blat Blat Then The Back Spits Out A Flame. It Takes Forever To Warm Up, Even When The Choke Is Out< At Least 15 Min> If I Don't It Will Back Fire. Does Any One Know About Multiple Spark / Plugs / ?

    Sorry, Didn't Mean Any Disrespect If I Did.

    if you are getting flames out of the pipe, it means that the exhaust valve is not sealing on the combustion stroke....how does it run??

    Could also be one serious intake leak. Does it finally stop when hot or continue to misfire?

    A simple check for intake leaks will tell you the story.

    Use some WD40 lightly sprayed onto the intake flanges from the left side. Any change in RPM indicates and intake leak. A change in idle speed from cold to hot also indicates a leak.

    Thanks For The Tip! That Must Have Been The Problem. I Checked The Bolts And They All Seemed Loose, So After Wrench'n I Cranked Her Up And It Sounds Like A New Bike. I Think It Increased The Preasure On The Rear Pipe At Least 50%.:)
