Okay newbie motorcycle owner.
Only 3 of the 4 pipes get hot when idling prior to riding (When sitting on it, it's the 2nd from the left)
I've recently replaced the spark plugs, and cleaned the jets/carbs out two years ago.
What else should I be looking at?

Re: 79 CB650 Running only on 3 Cylinders
I assume you have checked you have a spark on number 2?
then check for vacuum leak on number 2 carb to start with if not a split carb to head rubber, do a compression test on #2

Easiest to start with is the ignition, check the sparkplug and the wires. Next is to check if you get fuel into that cylinder, that is a bit more difficult but not impossible.
Riding bikes? I ride where ever i want and whenever i want.

Carbs clean two years ago? Has it run since then?
