OK so another question..

I have recently rebuilt the topend on my banshee.
Replaced the stock carbs with the Mikuni 28 mm FLatsides. Here is my problem//

The Left Cylinder doe not fire as much as my right cylinder. ? I have synched the Carbs and made sure the idle was the same. the only thing I have not checked ishe compression in the cylinders, that is the only think ;left that I can think of that would be causing this... ?
Is there any other possible causes ??

ANd what would be the fix ??
If the rings and pistons are in good shape which they should be fine seeing as how I just replaced them (including boring and honing of the cylinders) I guess I should go buy a compression guage and make sure that is ok.. please comment, you guys have been very helpful....
2-strokes are new to me and I want to get this thing right before riding again..

check your spark plugs first. make sure they are in right and there is no carbon build up and that it's not fouled. then check if the cdi is ok it could be why one side isn't always firing. also have you checked the reeds on both sides. if on side was bad it wouldn't run as good as the other.
