hi there, during the leak down test, it should not leak at all. i recommend you do another leak down test as you tear it down. try to find this leak.

i would check the slack on the chain. when it can no longer adjust correctly, it is time to get a new one. i change my chain and both sprockets as a set. i buy the primary drive set from rocky mountain. with sprockets and x ring chain it was like 70 bucks. i hear from some pros i ride with say they all last pretty much the same.

how about after market cranks? i just put a hot rods +4 crank in, does that required welding as well? thanks.

you can also get a really nice kit from snap on. but will cost you an arm and a leg. your best bet would be to build one for 25 bucks and you only have to goto two stores.

hi there, i got the tool and it works great. buy it from rocky mountain for like 15 bucks

the +4 is the line just below the +5 mark on the timing plate. to set it to +4, line the +4 mark up with the split on the crank case halves. when i installed mine, i had to lightly sand around the outside edges so i could play with the timing when the flywheel was on.

hi there, to check if there is fuel in the bowls, you turn your petcock on. then you undo the screws on the bottom of the bowls and visually see if fuel comes out of the drain hoses next to the screws. another trick is to take off the air filters and cover the carb opening with your hand and kick it over. you should see fuel rise out of the main nozzle.

hey guys, i am probably gonna have to do the same thing. when i brings jets and stuff out to the dunes, how do i keep sand out of everything? any pointers would be great. thanks

your gonna need a new pair of needles bud.

i use electrical contact cleaner, because it guarantees that there is no oily residue left behind.

get a soft mallet or dead blow hammer and strike the front engine mount boss. keep in mind that the mount goes with the top case half. one good love tap and it comes apart.

ok i understand now, thanks for all the help.

how about the hour meter? do you think that i need to divide the hours displayed by half as well, thanks.

ok i want to buy another tach/hour meter. so what do you guys think i need to buy. a 1 spark 1 rpm, or a 2 sparks per rpm? please let me know. thanks

i only wrapped the wire over one ignition lead. should it count every spark on that cylinder only? how about the hour meter? would that be off as well? thanks.
