engine question
On my 75 sportster 1000cc i get her fired up and she pops out the exhaust and it takes a few more seconds for the front cylinder to fire up.I also found when turning her over i fell air blowing out around where the carb goes into the head on the front cylinder.I wanted to know if it was just a intake leak or something with the exhaust valve.

RE: engine question
If air is coming back through the intake, it could have a leaking intake valve. A compression test will let you know for sure if there is any leakage past the valves. It will also let you know if it has a bad exhaust valve. I would start there. It is a very easy and quick test. All you need is a compression gauge to do it.
