Default 85 zx600 issues

hello, new guy here. bought this bike about a year ago, been busy with school and all, and i have some free time finally.

i think i got a bunch on issues fixed, i can get the bike to start now, after changing spark plugs, oil filter, gas filter and oil and cleaning out the carbs numerous times. ive checked the input to the coils and got 11.6 to both. battery has a strong 12.1 volts.

cylinder 1 and 3 seem not to be firing. i figured this out by running the bike for a min or two and throwing water and touching the header. 2 and 4 get beyong hot whole 1 and 3 are not, hell they arent even warm. heres a vid of the bike running:

Since you know that you have fuel and spark, do a carb synch.

prob not the carbs..i would do a compretion test.. you may find 1 and3 low..if they are check the valves for spec..

i have the same model with out the CA ... and mine had 8 soft intake valves which went into the head..

ford35, stick around good idea. Not many people have the gauges it seems.
