Angus67, I did have a box fan on it. I also have been wondering about overheating. Is there enough oil circulating through the heads. Retiredgentleman, I did put a meter on the battery and I'm getting 13.8 at idle and the e-advancer is behind the motor under the seat. I posted earlier a photo of...

Okay after discussion yesterday and this morning I went and rechecked the valve clearance and timing. and removed Carb pods. 1. bike started fine. 2. timing was right on using timing light on left cylinder. 3. Throttle response was great 4. idle rpm's was 1200 5. exhaust has inserts at...

I'm glad I posted the picture so you can get a visual of what I've done at least as it related to pods and exhausts.

gggGary, I just finished reading valve adjustment in the Tech section and plan to recheck and add air to cylinders.

These pods are the knock offs from Mikes Xs. As for the Heiden kit I've gone back to the stock needle and pilot jet. The only thing I kept in was the #135 main jet.

Okay guys you're hurting my ego! :) I get it now. I have been reading more on this in the tech section, so I am getting schooled. I think they call this the school of hard knocks.

Retired gentleman, I was wondering about that being part of the problem

Okay, after much reading and trying different combinations the following is where I'm at. 1. Pamco Ignition and E-Advancer 2. Hughs charging system 3. Omar mile exhaust with optimizers 4 Purchased Heiden Dyno tuning kit from Mikes XS and followed instructions a. drilled vent in slide...

I've been to the last four shows. Well worth the trip to view. It is an eclectic group of people especially coming from a guy like me approaching 70 but I enjoy bikes and what garage builders are doing the outside show is as good as those making the cut to be inside. I here BMW new scrambler...

5twins, oooh didn't wanna hear that. I'll post after my test ride this week.

Okay, received new Heiden Dyno Tune needle and jet kit from MikesXs and installed today. Engine is stock, pamco ignition with E-advancer and Omar mile tracker exhaust. Engine starts and runs great with no flat spots through rpm ranges. Tomorrow is the road test. Hoping all is good

Here are a few pictures of the rear tire asembly Jim

We'll I figured it out! It was the rear break mount rubbing against the disk. It needed another shim and a little grinding on the bracket and all is good.

Thanks arctics. I've got the tire removed now to do the rest of the procedure.

The inner spacer is there but loose

Thanks, I'm taking the wheel off this morning and rechecking.

I installed Omar's rear 19" Conversion kit per instructions. When I tighten spindle (axle) it binds the wheel and it will not spin. The spindle has a split lock nut for a Cotter pin so do I just back off nut until loose? I've rechecked assembly several times but result is the same. Thoughts? Oh...

Thanks Xs leo

Yeah I chocked a little on the complete slide price. :) some times you just have to suck it up! :) Thanks to all you guys on your input. Jim

Thanks for the photo's 5 twins great help. I was wondering if I would possibly need to re-jet but will finish this first. Another question. The diaphragms seem at the moment to look fine. Is there a reccomended replacement time? I'm more familiar with BMW airheads and Bing suggests every couple...
