That's what the Clymer's amnual says as well. I wonder if the looser clearance would help or hurt the valve float issue? Well, not that it...
Oops! I guess mine says TF and TR (I still have it apart so I just looked.) That better explains why I got it wrong last year. I figured the...
Usually long enough to put my helmet and gloves on, as I'll put my jacket on as I walk to the bike. Pretty much fire it up and take right off.
I need 2 of those, and 4 of #20! I need to see if they have them locally, or can at least order them.
Great post!
I have a spare, untested used one. I can look tomorrow and see if I can find a replacement on the cheap from a couple of our suppliers at work.
Mine was in similar condition (it sounds like) when I got it. I had to go through the carbs twice to get them clean enough.
I'm HOPING he meant 0.16mm. Good reminder on closely looking at the tips of the adjuster screws.
From my understanding, the petcock mod makes the fuel flow more reliable. At this point, do you know if it's the pump or the petcock causing the...
^^^ I like the tip to rotate the cams to where they are lifting the valves open to tighten the lock nuts. Never thought of that one!
I have a couple of my '85. Send me a PM if you still need it!
All this talk about you getting your bike back together makes me want to get mine back together as well! I've been wringing the crap out of the...
Using the Clymer's manual, I used the diagram that showed what way the cam lobes should be pointed. I'm 90% sure that you time the front head...
Glad that was of help! I had to go back and read it again when I was having troubles, it doesn't say anything about using T2 at all! What...
When I did the crank in mine last year, I had trouble with the cam timing as well. I read the Clymer manual, and I read a bit too much into it!...
A nickel or quarter, with a big-ish pair of pliers.
I should add that it is very important to check the oil clearances on all bearingsm new or old.
New bearings are only NEEDED if the old ones are bad. I reused the bearings in mine when I switched out the crank from my parts engine. I had $0...
I will definately be posting if I ever find out anything.
That valve tool is slick! I couldn't believe it when I first used it! I had to make sure it really works that well by trying more valves!...
Separate names with a comma.
