Don, thanks for the reply. I had forgotten to oil up the pistons, so hopefully that helps out. Regarding proper procedure for starting from an...
Well this sounds awfully familiar...I'm in a similar boat:http://vfrworld.com/forums/mechanics-garage/30305-new-me-91-need-serious-help-3.html....
Okay gentlemen, I'm really starting to get frustrated. Used starter motor arrived today and was installed about an hour ago. Still no joy. Trying...
Well, I just confirmed what Don seems to have suspected; apparently my starter motor was bad too. "I built it one piece at a time," but it sure is...
Multimeter good to go, further test results are interesting. Voltage to the Fuel Cut-Off Relay is good (about 13V, if I'm remembering correctly),...
Finally got another chance to work on my bike; report follows: Decided to start with the fuel pump. Following the test procedure from the Service...
Yeah, I assumed thorough testing before purchasing a new pump in step one; here's a quick and dirty video I just shot demonstrating the start up...
With a fully charged battery, it will crank over twice and then run out of juice. Same result if jumping off a running car. My plan of attack is...
I've already done the VFRness and replaced the RR and stator. Today I reinstalled the carbs on the bike. Add a little Vaseline and it was way...
Great success! The carb unit is assembled and complete. I've ordered 4 new carb boots (or whatever the proper name for the standoff things may be)...

Fail...it turns out the carb set is 95% awesome. For that, I say thank you. The remaining 5% is somewhat critical, I think. Pictures to come, but...
Okay then - I'm never one for wanting to make things harder than they have to be. Three points: 1.) The cam boxes were never left open to air, 2.)...
Well, the carbs still havn't arrived. No points to Canada Post for speed. Can I get a picture of the wiring to the starter relay - I'm 99% I...
Thanks again; I'm really looking forward to getting this beast up and running!
Thanks a ton Jethro - at this point I;m starting to think I have a rod bent somewhere in mine because that sucker just won't turn loose for...
jethro, can I get some pictures on those? I'm becoming increasingly annoyed with the refusal of mine to loosen up and move.
My carburetor gasket set and the relay (pictured above) should be arriving this afternoon; I have heard pine-sol would be a safe way to clean...
Gremlins captured on camera: [IMG] and [IMG]
So I started in on my electrical gremlins this evening and I have found at least a symptom, if not the cause. The magnetic starter switch (SW,...
