Hi everyone!
I've been making progress on my bike slowly but surely (1980 CX500). I still have a coolant leak, which I believe is from the radiator itself, but I have managed to get an exhaust together.
I noticed that my bike was running only on the LH cylinder and the RH is not firing.
The right spark plug has spark and is getting wet with fuel. I did a rough compression test by putting my hand over the cavity and it felt the same on both sides, but I'll be doing an actual compression test tomorrow to tell for sure.
What should my next step be? I was thinking maybe valve clearances or possibly timing? Thanks everyone for your help so far, this forum has been invaluable!
I attached a picture of the plugs. The one on the left is for the LH side and vice versa. I have a video of the bike running but I don't know if I can share it here or not.
