That's awesome man! I'm glad you got it running. Thankfully yes, I did find my issue. It was a washer behind the clutch basket. The Clymer manual kinda played a trick on me. And the incorrect washer I had in there made everything extremely tight. Once I swapped for the correct washer she fired...

Yep mine was kinda of either way you put it. this tooth or that tooth it need to go in the middle of the 2 places it could go... if that makes since. It couldn't go there obviously so I feel like this is the better of the two.

Mine was actually how you describe yours to be. I rotated my cam one to back (clock wise if looking at cam from stator side) and it is much easier to kick with no more kick back and it fires up for about a second or two every kick now. So I'm about to start searching in other areas for some sort...

Alright so still no luck... I went ahead and moved the cam one tooth back towards the rear of the motor. She seems to want to turn over every kick now and no more kick back. But when it starts (it has twice) it'll run for a few seconds and dies. When I go to kick it after that it is incredibly...

Tlcbobber the first pick is showing the tdc he shows its pretty straight (kind of a strange angle) but it is on the lower plane compared to how his picture shows to be on the upper plane. However in his write up he says this doesn't matter just as long as there horizontal. I've been trying to...

^see that's what I'm figuring I'm going to have to end up doing.. because to me it seems like it's firing way advanced, causing the sudden abrupt stop of the engine. (Firing against the Pistons stroke.) I just don't want to do anything that dramatic until I know it's going to fix an issue.

Will do its pouring here at the moment. Once it let's up I'll head out and try that sequence. My right leg is going to be huge by the time this thing starts haha.

Yea that's the first thing I did. Everything seems fine. Plugs out all tappet caps off making sure there's no binding up there and it goes through the stroke with no issue. Feels fine.

Alright, so bikes still not running. I've just gotten back from a vacation (were of course couldn't think about anything but the bike) and I have 4 days until I have to return to work. Trying to get things sorted. As of now the bike will start run for about 5 seconds (sounds great) and then...

Yea, I noticed that with the choke. I meant to mention that was with the choke off. It's slower than just dropping it but still only about a 5sec. Drop. I took the choke stuff apart and noticed no signs of where on the little rubber stopper or anything. But yes my idle circuit seems a little...

That's how it's wired for now. Literally a hot to both coils (with a 7.5fuse + toggle) and a ground. Both to a car battery with 12.xx vilts. As always I appreciate the help.

still not running, have fuel and spark. just finished cleaning/rebuilding the carbs again new everything in there. and now nothing! Still sparking and getting fuel, left carb slide is still falling pretty fast compared to the right side. brand new diaphragms and i checked the choke setup and...

Yea im getting really good spark now. I think it's all in the carbs now. Major bummer is, I just took my throttle shafts apart and buggered up one of the threaded holes on the shaft. Talk about a hard to find part! Found a set of bs38's on ebay but he messaged me back and said his butterfly is...

Hey that's all we can hope for right haha. It'll be a glorious day!

Lol I know but it's a pretty crazy coincidence it did that multiple times... but anyway yea they were "cleaned" when I got em. I cleaned them a little better all the ports are clear but I just took em off again and going all out this time. Doing new needle jet o-ring (it was terrible on both...
