power commander....have you eliminated this from the equation yet in your testing?

Hi yes we put on a new one, the old one was shot but it did not change the way the bike runs. We also borrowed an ignitor from a bike that runs well and removed the plug leads first front then rear then each side to eliminate coils and leads its a pain at the moment I am not sure where to go next.

In your troubleshooting guide, a few things are mentioned.

Carburation issues: pilot screw maladjusted, dirty carb, poorly sealed air cleaner, carbs not synchronized, vacuum piston on carb sticking, air suction valve issues, vacuum switch valve trouble, just to name a few.
