Hello.
So...some of you might know I´ve been re-buliding my engine partly this winter.
Now it´s in the frame and I´m ready to fire it up but things ain´t going my way.
Here are the problems:
-Won´t start, only backfires occasionally. (Kickstart, no starter).
-It´s much more heavy to kickstart now then it was before the re-build.
Here is what I have done during the winter....more or less:
-New camchain guide and tensioner.
-New camchain (thight as hell)
-Lapped valves.
-New camshaft bearings.
-New valve stem seals.
-Carbs cleaned.
-Pistonhead and cumbustions chambers cleaned.
-New gaskets.
I do run 750cc with Boyer ignition (blue box) and I´ve set timing like this. Crank on "T" and trigger magnet right behind the peephole in the pickup plate. This should at least make it start.
I think I´ll drain it from oil and re-install the starter untill the engine is working OK.......my legs are very spongy by now I´ll also take a second look at the carbs and fill the gastank fresh gas.
I know this type of questions are hard to answer but anyone have any idea. Maybe an engine that´s been apart always is hard to start??
