I have a CL350 Honda. I replaced the carbs, and now I have a VERY
strange problem. On the right side of the engine, the bike will start,
but you can tell by holding the exhuast pipe on the right side, it is
not firing. If i take off the plug wire on the right side and hold it
3/4 of an inch away, with the electric 3/4" zap, the cylinder fires
and the bike idles and runs fine. Any ideas?

It's not that strange. Happens all the time. The idle mixture on the right
hand carburetor is too lean and the weak spark at only 3000 volts or so
cannot find an ignitable mixture in the spark plug gap.

Pull the spark plug lead off and make the external gap require 9000 volts and
the
voltage across the spark plug gap is also higher and it's able to ignite the
leaner mixture.

So, you want to clean out the idle jets and reset the idle mixture screws to
richen the mixture.

Probably wouldn't hurt to replace the plug(s) if you haven't done so.
