I'm about to slit my wrists trying to figure out why my eldo won't run well
and noticed something odd, when I put my hand over the left cylinder header
and crank the bike (spark plugs disconnected), I feel more suction than
exhast, feels like its going to suck my hand into the pipe. Is that normal?

I have completely and throughly cleaned the carbs, I get spark, wiring
appears to be in good shape I have the aircleaners off currently, gas is
flowing though if I blow into the fuel inlets on either carb, it does take a
little effort.

I remember when the bike originally began running bad, I noticed my
generator had slipped in its cradle and was straining its wiring, but the
wiring still looks fine, the gen. light goes out when sufficient revs are
reached and I do have spark (not sure how strong).
