Well Sir, my advance unit was obviously badly worn. The tab that sits in the slotted nut was really bad on both. Even the slots in the nut were worn. I got lucky in that the weights and slotted nut from my parts bike appear as new. Put that back together with new springs. I went through the points, again, and they are set at .014 for both. I did get it running to check the timing with my light. It fires right where it's supposed to and the advance is correct.
This is where I really need help. It starts, but only runs on the right side until 3 or 4k rpm, then the left side kicks in. This is what I've done with the carbs. Disassembled both, removed pilot and main jets and slides. I cleaned thoroughly with carb cleaner, blew out all the passages with air. I did not remove the needle jet but I cleaned all the metering holes in both. (I have new needle jets but not the o-ring or needles.) Removed and cleaned the float needle and seat, checked and set the float level. Installed new #30 pilot jets and #140 main jets, I didn't change the needle clips. Set the air needle screw at 2 turns out. The PO had them turned all the way in.
The bike will start using the choke and will run without it after a bit. Only on the right side until I blip the throttle. The right cylinder runs hot, which makes me nervous. It's about 100° hotter than the left, using an infra-red thermometer.
I'm getting limited on time to work on this, but I would like to at least get it running decent.
I also discovered that the alternator isn't charging and the clutch plates are stuck together.
Ant suggestions will be greatly appreciated. You won't hurt my feelings by being honest.
Thanks.
