    She runs hot...On one side...

    That's one thing I don't have here. Compression tester. I am going to revisit my points and advance. With new spark plugs. Then move to carb sync. I have to create the tool for that. Thanks for the advice...

    counting carbs

    I'm not on a diet or anything. Although I would appear to gain some horsepower if I lost some weight! I was looking at Keihin carbs with external jets. A friend has a Yamaha 500cc single that no one can get sorted. What type of carb do you prefer and why? Truely asking for a friend...

    She runs hot...On one side...

    Slowly trying to work thru several issues...Two biggest are the left cylinder seams to run hotter than the right. Exhaust header is a lot hotter. Part of which maybe a fouled right plug. I have constant spark with the timing light. The exhaust out the mufflers is noticeably different. But also...

    I heard it run once...

    I guess I had the timing set correctly. Three kicks and Bain lit off and ran long enough the warm the pipes. I also left the basement door to our house open. I told my wife it was a new diesel incense I was trying for Christmas...But the twin didn't hold together long. Nor would it start again...

    Fumbled at the 10 yard line.

    Found it! among other things... Long story short. I also found a pin, or roller bearing, after setting the engine in the frame. It was on the floor on the right side of "Bane" by the rear tire. I had mounted the head and valve cover was on before setting it in the chassis. I know it is not from...
