Are you checking for spark? The problem you are having is not typical of pulse generators, so I wouldn't spend any more time investigating them....
Parts are the same - go for it!
The rear tire is wobbling? Not the rim..... that doesn't sound very good at all. If that's the case I'm kind of surprised that it's even holding...

I wouldn't get the cart in front of the horse. Just ride it around a bit and see what happens. Bikes that have sat for a long period will do...
Normally I don't try to fix a bike before I buy it. A non-running bike is usually cheap - as soon as you can ride it the price goes up...
My concern is that it's not smoking at start-up. Normally when it smokes only at WFO it's the rings or valve stem seals. Let's hope just getting...
The reg/rec has no effect on the ability of the engine to start or run. If there is enough juice to crank it over (from the battery) then there...
Sounds like a stuck float or something causing fouled plug(s). I'd pull the spark plugs and check them and I think you'll find at least one of...
Doesn't Cometic and/or Vesrah still offer the cam cover gaskets?
Well, I don't know about the C model, but maybe this info would help: This is right out of my notes, but unfortunately I didn't write down the...
Exactly. It seems as though the tool acutally did more harm than good. Here is the Sevice Bulletin for the cam holder tool in question:...
In 86-87 the 700's and 750's were identical except for the engine displacement parts.
I think the question being posed here is this: should the special tool be used or not? I've known quite a few V4 guys over the years, some have...
The VF1000R was first introduced in 1984 in Europe, Australia and <I think> Japan markets. The US only got it in 85 and 86.
Well, I'm assuming your bike is actually a VFR700 since it's an 86. I think you'll find that it's mainly the same thing as the First Generations...
Actually, the real reason is valve float at high rpm on abused engines. I think the general consensus of people "in the know" is to not use the...
The fast up and down is normal, it will cool off pretty quickly just sittng there not running. I'd first check your coolant level, then I would...
That sounds like old clutch plates to me. I've been following your project and it appears as though the engine was sitting for some amount of...
Those are Chinese...... so......... Stainless steel is a good material for brake rotors. However, there are lots of different types of...
