I posted this problem originally in the electrical forum, but I'm starting to think it might not be an ignition issue and hope others might find a solution to this conundrum.
My 73 CL350 isn't firing on the left cylinder. I replaced the plugs. I've checked both side for spark and I can see both plugs spark when I turn the motor. I've reset the cam chain tensioner, I've adjusted valve clearance, I've set the timing spot on. I resynced the carbs too.
I can start the bike and it'll idle, but it's lacking a ton of power at take off. Won't rev much higher than 4k. It sputters and surges when I try to hold a constant speed.
I've noticed that after idling for a bit only the right exhaust gets hot.
I'm running out of vintage honda YouTube videos to watch! I'm lost on what to check for next. Any help is appreciated.
