I looked at that, and I don't see any wear that would match it. Either way, I'm deciding not to put it back there. The #24 and #23 fit are loose sort of but that washer would be really wrong. For a little while, I thought it might be a piece pressed onto the case where that gear selection...

I suppose that might help greatly! ID is 8mm OD is 11mm Thanks!

Hi guys, Does this dang washer seem like it belongs anywhere in the shifter assembly on the clutch side. It doesn't seem to fit anything in the shift assembly group. Putting the engine back together... hate to have extra parts. The shifter claw spring placed nearby for comparison. It is steal...

Maybe these pics will help finalize the bad ring prognosis. I'm not being very scientific with all this. But I'll try to explain it the best I can. I've got three spark plugs, #1 and #2 are newer last year with 50 miles on them, and #3 was from before. I left the carbon on #1 to show you...

Dead cylinder comes to life sometimes at higher RPM. But its very sparse and sporadic.

So I'm getting a fouled plug(s) very easily - which is what was happening last year I'm pretty sure. Q: To foul, does the gap need to be bridged? Can a plug foul by being coated with gas/oil? Can plugs become varnished? Pictures to come this evening. Q2: When fouled by oil would there be a lot...

That pdf was really fun to read! :) Thanks for posting.

-16F in my garage. Its a pretty normal temp for this time of year, but i think its getting to me. I started polishing the insides of my carbs (hope that wasn't stupid) ..and I visually checked my swing arm bushings... good news everybody, my swing arm bushings show little to no wear :) I can...

Awesome! Thanks guys! This is all really great advice.

In addition to having a J.I.S. / Motion Pro T-handle screwdriver, are there any tricks to getting those screws out? Obviously trying to avoid boogering them... This season I want my carbs so clean they're like new.

Wow! Thanks for the expert break-in regimen. On my rebuild, I left the pistons in the sleeves so the rings are at "what they are" status. I'm saving up for that 750 and rephrase rebuild... This rebuild was aimed at new gaskets and a new cam chain. Yesterday I checked the cam chain tensioner...

So I've downloaded and printed and bound my handy Carb document. Thank you guys for putting it together! What a resource. I cleaned up both carbs using the ChemDip product. And have read in other posts about not dipping the carb bodies because of the butterfly shaft gaskets.. I'd love to dip...

Thanks Leo!.. I'll do some reading and cleaning this weekend :)

Found a bunch of related posts after I submitted my thread... sorry for posting then reading... here's an interesting bit from XSLeo "If one side has plugged idle circuits it won't run on that side until you rev it up high enough where that carb gets into the mid to upper range then that side...
