My points ignition XS is running, but barely. Left cyl. seems OK while the right side is firing but with little power. After a short ride (with very little power) the left exhaust pipe is very hot while the right side is just warm. The exhaust is far from equal. Where to start? - timing, coils, carbs?

checkyour timing but put your money a on weak coil or bad spark plug wire/cap/plug, switch sparkplug wires from one coil to the other and see if problem moves if it does replace wire if it doesn't switch coils (move wires from points coil to coil and switch plug wires to opposite side they will reach around front of motor) or remove coils and swap side to side and see what happens
