Thanks for all the input. Leo, I got the valves reset to the settings you suggested after I got the cam chain tensioner reset. It sounds better than ever know. Thanks again!

:banghead: I've got a 1980 tacker with Ascot Pipes, XS intakes, carbs tuned accordingly, Omar.s front/rear wheel conversion. I've had it about a year and other than some a minor short in the rear light and a clogged petcock, it's been running like a top ...until I just changed the oil last...

I have a 2 1/2 rachet and still can't get off the front sprocket, which makes me doubt that was leaking. The Pushrod was really loose in the seal and the seal was pretty bunged up. I guess I'll leave the sprocket on for now and get the pushrod seal replaced with new ball bearing and long rod...

Took the wife on a date Friday night, it was a glorious 10 minutes before the bike started back firing when I would decelerate and then after another 5-10 min, I would have to keep on the accelerator a lot to keep it running at the light. Stopped had dinner, got her running, but 5 min into...

Replaced the plugs and she fired right up. I used Prime to start it (starts first or second kick). No to replace the old fuse block, sort out the electric starter, add blinker, horn, etc. Kind of funny to add stuff back on that someone worked so hard to delete.

All good advice I'm sure. I'll try and start it with Prime position and see what's up. According to the list of things done by the PO, the carbs were cleaned not that long ago... I'll check for spark, when I took out the plugs, this is what I saw:

My bike has been sitting for almost two weeks since I had to wait for the glass 20A fuse to come in the mail. Fixed the shorts in the wiring for the tail and break light. When I fixed the shorts, I stuck the voltometer on battery and tested while revving. The volts jumped up and...

This is totally me. Where should I start now? I'm very close to making the decesion to doing a full PMA install/swap, PAMCO ignition and a brand spanking new wiring harness. Something about it seems easier (or at least more gratifying) than trying to hunt down the problem and then...

Okay- so I did a little work on the bike. Recharged both batteries, the old lead battery and the new lithium. Both tested almost 14v. I replaced the clutch cable and now the clutch feels sooooo good. However, once I got the lithium battery back in, I tried kicking it over... it almost...

It's an 80. I'll take off the cover ...what should I be looking for? Thanks again!

Thanks Scrambled for the info. I've only had the bike for two months. All I know I was told by the PO: "Brand new rotor in the stator this year, brushes still looked good." Otherwise the charging system looks stock to me. Most of the wiring looks original, but looks pretty good. I'm not...

The wife decided she wanted to learn to kick start our bike. The goal was, if she could kick start it, the bike would be hers. I had just replaced the battery with this Lithium Batt Bike would always start with one or two kicks. My wife is a small gal, so with all 105lbs of might, she...

They are FROZEN... well the arm swings fine. Was just wanting to swap our a clutch lever. -Cleaned and lubed cable -Removed and cleaned worm screw/Clutch Push Screw & Housing Assembly It was FILTHY FILTHY FILTHY. Took lots of work ... and then I realized the cable adjuster screw and...
