    1979 xs650 with a few questions....

    Dang was hoping for a little more help lol but that's ok. Trial and error it is. I tried to take some material off of the advance rod but that did not work. I ended up ordering a new rod from Mikes and they appear to be exactly the same. I threw it in there anyway and sure enough, worked like a...

    1979 xs650 with a few questions....

    UPDATE The oil cooler is no longer leaking. The gasket had some impurities and once I cleaned everything it has been ok. I contacted Mikes XS today about the advance rod and I am hoping to hear from them soon. I'm still hoping to hear something about a good starting point for these carb jets...

    1979 xs650 with a few questions....

    Ok so I took the oil cooler back off and I noticed the gasket had some rough edges. I smoothed it out with some sand paper and then made sure it was super smooth and put some oil on it and reinstalled. I don't know if this will do the trick but I think it might. Still not sure what's what on...

    1979 XS650 Chop won't start

    My guess is the timing is just off. I have spark, getting fuel, it starts for a second and dies. Timing right? I've adjusted the PAMCO to every possible position and kicked this thing till my leg went numb. Im going to get on some research now to see if I can get some timing tips.

    1979 XS650 Chop won't start

    Ok, I took out the ATU shaft and reinstalled according to some install instructions I found on this site. The timing marks on the rotor that the flyweights slide into was backwards. You can probably see that in the picture above because you cannot see the arrow or the timing mark. I aligned the...
