So the pipes are not stock. They have bubs on them. But this was done back in 04-06 before I owned the bike. I've put 18000 miles on it since 06 in it's current config with no issues until last year. I am assuming this would rule out any problems with the top caps of the carbs and a pinched/damaged diaphragm?

I will pick up some caps to bypass the CA emissions. Do you know the correct size for these caps? 5/16ths or 3/8ths?

I didn't see any chrome tubes behind the spark plugs. All three of the vacumn tubes go back between the carbs, then down.

The plug wire connections are nice and tight at the coils. I did notice that last night while I had the bike running. BTW it ran much smoother than before, I could rev it up somewhat. It would still lose power at higher rpms but now between 3-4k. I drove it a few hundred yards down the street and back at low speed and it would almost die when starting and it had low power. I got back and checked the pipes, the right side was cold. (a few days ago it was the left side). So it appears the right side isn't firing now. I do know the plugs are good and have spark.
