Backfire when trying to start

The good news is the power wires to the coils are marked. Which is nice if you know Italian or are handy with Google Translate. Actually my friend’s wife spent time in Italy and we could have asked her too.

He had replaced the TPS screws and could have easily bumped it too.

Regardless, it now sounds amazing. He’s got the FbF mufflers and a Power Commander. 

So, was the left coil power supply plugged into the right coil causing each to fire at the wrong time?

I’m helping my friend, yes, I corrupted him when he rode my Greenie, start his bike. He’s been refreshing a bunch of parts.

 

Cleaned injectors. New fuel line. Manual petcock.

 

Very loud backfire when trying to start. Seems to me to be an air leak (lean pop?).

 

Thoughts?

Gotta love the sight of two greenies together!

It's a very very rare sight down here.

Cheers
