Pandemonium Yam mama SWEET!!

problem solved. Thanks a bunch turned out the copper washer that was in there was too thin and too small ( I think it was a brake fitting washer) any way it got worn to where it slipped inside the spring.:doh: Put 2 new thicker ones and instant quiet. Thanks again

Thanks a bunch I believe I have an E type and the copper washer in mine does not appear that thick can multiple thin washers be used?

Finally figuring out my idle noise after adjusting valves 4 times Went to recheck cam tension Clicking on dry rotation matched the plunger moving beyond the threads If I hold my finger against the plunger firmly the noise goes away on rotation. I think I have mixed components in my...

Taken from Mikes xs tech page : 16.Q. What valve tappet clearance do I use? A. All Models 1974-84: Inlet: 0.003 inches (0.075mm.) Exhaust: 0.006 inches (0.15mm.) A. All Models 1970-73: Inlet: 0.006 inches (0.15mm.) Exhaust: 0.012 inches (0.30mm.) Note: Set valve clearance with cylinder...

The cam in my 77 case is reportedly from a 72. would this change valve lash specs to match the cam and what would they be for a 72? XS2 I assume? XS1, XS2 TX650 : Inlet valve 0.15mm / exhaust 0.30mm Just to complicate matters .15mm converts to .006in. my intakes are at.003in .30mm...

So what was your final adjustment specs? inlet.05 mm and exhaust .15mm? Or did you change it thanks a bunch That`ll be todays project

I swear you must have snuck in my garage and video`d my engine. Exact same noise .Hear on dry rotation. Metalic ringing, tinging at idle. I`ve checked valve lash 3 times. Love to hear what you find I`ve got the elephant foot aduster screws to try next.

Were did you get these mufflers??

Thanks, I have read the carb guide several times Glad to have them. Just looking to see what works for others with similar set up. Anybody done the drilling trick and needles from Mikes http://www.mikesxs.net/product/48-0667.html
