I had the bike running on Saturday but the willful little beeotch wouldn't fire up Sunday. The clearances on the intake valves closed to nothing. After...
Bill, I forget what everyone is running for a cam. If it's a race cam you might have some more serious issues, if it's a stock cam it may just be the valves...
As I rememebr that's what hapened to my engine once, I couldn't keep the valve clearance, though it was on the left exhaust. It was a valve seat that came...
Yup. It's a stock NOS cam. I had set the clearance at .003" and figured after starting/heating it a couple of times it would need to be checked. I'll set it at...
Watch out for west nile. The verts seem to have seats a bit more durable than the slopers. I think it's because the vert heads don't heat up as much. Rockers...
The farm next door to ours was closed down for awhile last summer because the guys dead peacocks were full of west nile virus. He had some f'ing menagerie...
HAH!! ! ! ! It was that frikking oil JB recommended!!! The farm next door to ours was closed down for awhile last summer because the guys dead peacocks were...
Johnny, I found a good 57mm head gasket. I'll reassemble tomorrow. Thanks, and I'm going to keep my eyes open fo rthe cb 200 gaskets. Are they 56 mm? I bought...
The synthetic of course has nothing to do with valve failure. I keep my eyes open on used parts, making sure it doesn't look like the valves have been...
and have yet to have a rocker or cam lobe problem using Red Line or Royal Purple synthetic. I was kidding! ! ! I am putting synthetic in for the first time...
Scott....... synthetic is not a subject suitable for humor, or humour. Do you love your engine? Synthetic is the 1 carat ring of oils. I was running Royal...
Scott, Did you check the cylinderhead for a shiny spot that matches the one I saw on the dome of your piston? Really looked like it was tapping something and...
Nah, that was where I hit it with the rage when I took it apart. I tried not to touch anything upon disassembly, but I did hit a few things, making them shine....
On the subject of synthetic I found it didn't shift as easily either. Finding neutral was a little tougher, harder to do in race boots. I think the lighter...
I've got a couple of stock coils if you need em. I bought some "motorcycle" synthetic oil . . . I think it is Pennzoil or something. are you guys laughing at...
Bill, Hmmm...sounds like trying a new coil would be the thing to do. And a loose connection certainly wouldn't help either. Tugging on the wires shouldn't be...
... some "motorcycle" ... Nah...any synthetic is better than pure dino....in these engines. The motorcycle specific oils have some better additives for the...
JohnnyB+Evil It's probably just a coincidence but when I wiggled the connection it fired at the same time it touched the chrome end cap on the K+N filter. ...
Bill, The Pertronix isn't real sensitive to firing with no plug. Not like a CDI ignition. The Pertronix IS sensitive to being left on with the bike not running...
JohnnyB At this moment there is no spark at all so I've got to start changing parts. Probably coil first, kill switch, Pertronix in that order. The kill switch...
Calling BFD, Calling BFD . . . . . Did you guys know that you can disassemble the engine without removing cam/rockers/bearing ends etc?? This is the first time...
Scott, I don't think I've ever disassembled the head to get it off :) How the heck did the cam chain break? When you start running it hard you'll want to go to...
Hey Scott Been at the track since last Thursday. Joe is now an officially licensed modern racer (if he wants to be) despite a guy crashing in front of him...
