O.K. ,I bought a '95 XLT-580 for next to nothing. Now, runs like crap and looking for things that are typical on these.
2 right and center cylinders run nice, Clutch side floods but doesn't stall engine, Pull clutch side plug and still runs, unplug any other after returning it and will stall, Cylinder does have spark, weak but does spark. Mind you, I haven't checked compresion levels yet, just made sure it blew finger off hole. Thinking a good cleaning of carbs and new plugs should get it running right ,I hope. Did have one friend say that lower seal could be gone on clutch side, Any Ideas would be welcome and any one with expirience on these machines with any typacalities or possabillities would be nice. I do not have much $$ into it now but bought cause has great 1" shockwave track and fox shocks are good all around.($250.) Figured one of 2 things, Parts it out or get it going and let kids ride it.
