Bandit experts

Anybody know about bandits? The 2 wheeled kind not the mexican kind. My brother says that when he start`s his bandit (the older and better one, imo) in the morning it only runs on 2 cylinders, he rides to my place (approx 3 miles) switches the bike off for 20 mins and when he starts her up again the bike runs on all 4 cylinders and is as sweet as. Any ideas anyone?

Re: Bandit experts

cheers lone wolf, a good forum that i`m sure i`ll be using in the future. however after close eyeballing it seems it was a fueling problem, just a build up of **** in the carbs, i`ve prescribed using a little less choke, a dash of redex per tank and a good fuel flush. just what the doctor ordered ;)
