My Eldo did this to me awhile back and it drove me nuts pulling the carbs, cleaning everything and re-adjusting the valves. Turns out it was my brand new condensor failing. Replaced it and all is fine again. I now keep several spares on hand.

I have only put a few miles on it since getting it in rideable shape for the first time in probably 10+ years. So, the other day I adjusted the air screw on the carbs out several turns due to backfiring and erratic idle speeds. I went on a short ride and it seemed to be running much better and I put it in the garage. A few hours later I needed to go on a short trip, it was a little cooler and when I started it it was running a bit rough which I chalked up to cold weather. As I rode it got worse until it eventually seemed to be running on one cylinder so I pulled into a church parking lot and it died and I haven't been able to get it to start since. I figure if it's not running it has to be spark, fuel or air. It is getting fuel (pulled the jets and checked them to make sure they weren't clogged). It seems to be getting spark, at least the plugs spark when out. I put in 2 fresh to make sure and nothing improved. I tried re-adjusting the air screws back in just in case, but no luck. The only other thing I can think of to check (will do tomorrow) is the valve clearances, though I don't know why they'd go south so all of a sudden. The only thing that looked weird is that my generator bolt was loose and the generator had twisted putting a strain on its wires, but it doesn't appear to be a problem and like I said it's getting spark. Any suggestions?
