Good Point! Ill try that tomorrow. What I did tonight was, check the gap on the slides and they were all good. while doing so tho I noticed one of the air mixture screws on the one cylinder(left) was turned almost all the way in and the other one was out a fair bit so I turned it out to match...

I will check that thanks

Howdy All! After a Lengthy rebuild (mostly because I was riding my other bikes :p ) I tried starting my bike and I can get it to fire but not idle. so what I have done to the bike is: - Complete engine over haul new everything. - VM34s jetted for XS650 - PAMCO ignition with coils and wires -...

Lol I did that too ! Have you run one of these new chains ? I'm curious how long did it take for the chain to get some slack in it? I can't even get my tensioner screwed in properly right now

I agree! but the place I bought the chain from even told me it would appear to be too short but that is just because of the grease in the new chain and that after you fire it up and the chain warms and "breaks in" it will be perfect.... So I hope they are correct! The chain is extremely tight.

I just had this exact problem and I did everything you said... What I ended up doing was laying the cam chain out on a plank and put a nail between the last link and then took a flat blade screwdriver and tapped it between each link and pried on each link and that helped a lot then the other...

I'm in !

Hey Leo, I was thinking about doing that but unfortunately this time around I chewed the rubber up enough that it's not really usable lol the unfortunate part about the guide is you never know what it's going to do until it's too late Posted via Mobile

Yeah thats no good. I'll see what I can find, my issue is I'm up in Canada so I have to wait for everything lol and I hate waiting

The first two I bought were NOS from eBay and now I'm looking at maybe trying the mikes XS one

Hey everyone, I am finding my self ordering yet another cam chain guide.. What are you guys doing to keep that stupid peice of plastic on the mount ? Thanks in advance

Ok gotcha ! I'll have a look

Thanks for the info RG I did have a look at the butterflies but I didn't not even notice any O-rings in the pilot or anything, maybe they are missing. I know there is no leaks around the carbs already I checked that first thing. I will report back this evening when I get home and confirm everything

Hey guys, So I tried my hand at the dead cylinder method after recreating retiredgentlemans plug ground and I followed the directions laid out in the guide , but when I would turn the fuel screw In or out from its .75 set point there was no change in idle weather it was screwed all the way in...

Thanks RG that's exactly what I needed to see! Don't want to fry something haha I'll report back when I get a chance to try it out.

Hey guys I forgot to up date you on the bike. So I put the new clutch frictions and springs in and adjusted the worm gear accordingly. All clutch slippage is gone now which is great! One question I have is on these bikes can I adjust the clutch so that it grabs a little later? Right now it wants...

Good point weaselbeak ! I will try all new ones first then give it shot and if I need too I will alternate new and old

Thanks Scabber! Will do !

I looked at the Tach and the cable issue briefly. Verified that the all important oil pump is indeed working and I checked all the gears and they were contacting correctly and in good order so that leads me more to the cable or perhaps a faulty tachometer.
