Took the air cleaners off and both slides were still lifting in sync Remounted the coils and went ahead and trimmed the ends of the wires for good measure. Had a tad of sputtering at WOT but nothing unexpected. Seems to be running great now, thanks for the advice -Ryan

Howdy, I've been running this '75 for well over a year as a daily driver to and from campus. Recently I went from 4" risers to 1" so my throttle cable was a bit long. I ran it like that for a month or 2 out of laziness but the throttle assembly was very stiff to turn due to how my cable was...

Update: Thank you 650Skull for that color coded image. I completely took everything apart and reassembled, not sure what exactly i did differently this time around but all seems to work great. I've ridded several times since the fix. It seems one of the previous owners lost the snap ring and...

I'll post another thread if I need to but hoping someone in here can answer this question for me. On my bike the gear that covers the 4th starter gear has the split bushing as expected but not the retaining c-clip that goes over that. When I took the right side cover off a washer fell out that...

I'll add that to my to do list. That shouldn't affect the push rod not moving though right? I'm assuming I have a problem with the clutch assembly Also, while I'm at it. How important are the clutch hub cush springs? I have one that is broken but dont know if that warrants buying the whole kit...

o got the left side case buttoned up. Push rod at 1 15/16", bearing in worm drive but still no movement out of the push rod. Guess I'll be going back in on the right side this afternoon

The pushrod is sitting at 2 3/8" from the face of the push rod seal. And is just over 9.5" in length total in case anyone was wondering. I've had that bearing fall out on me before so I was careful not to lose it this time around but very well could have Edit...after some simple match and...

I typically tend to fix more things than I break but that doesnt seem to be the case in this job. Since I've had the bike my starter has slipped, It hasnt ever been that bad and hence I havent worried about it but one day after taking about 10 minutes of trying to get it started I decided I...

Thanks for them helps guys. Slowly chipping away at the problems as they arise. The compression test yielded 145-150psi for the left cylinder and 150-155 for the right. I did each side 3 times with a warm engine. The motor was bored out to 750 by the previous owner. It hasn't been apart in the...

Update: Sure enough it was the left cylinder plug (I feel like a moron). Swapped it out and now it runs faster than ever especially since the carbs are actually synced instead of a guestimate. Now I have to address the issue of why I have oil on my left plug (From the cylinder that wasnt...

Just shows what I know. This started as a summer project that got closer and closer to being a real bike and now I have to deal will actual mechanical problems vs just fabricating things that I think are cool. When hooked up to the manometer the idle levels are deal on but when throttling they...

If all else fails I'll just boot these and go back to stock I've got good pressure coming out of both exhaust pipes so I dont believe that is the problem

My bike was running great one day and the next morning took a turn for the worse. The Issue: When in gear I have very poor acceleration, to the point where I can get the bike fast enough to get past 2nd gear in most cases. If I try to go to a higher gear I start getting all kinds of vibrations...
