So, the timing is set and i tried to sync the carbs. This is how it looks. They are synked but seems there are some leaks or something with the valves? Could both carbs be synced but at the same time have the exact leak or valve problem? Not much seems to happen when adjusting the mixture screw...

As gggGary said. Muck around 😉

Progress!!! Same on both cylinders 😃 Thanks for all the input. Best forum ever!!!

I can actually adjust them about 2mm. Wich one is for the right/left cylinder.

Approximately. Red-right. Yellow-left

I'm scratching my head here. Right cylinder is retarded and left advanced. Newtronic ignition. What to do 🤔

So, i have made some progress on the timing issue. But, it is still in the advanced side (on idle) and i can't rotate the timing plate any more. The cam chain is set with the pin flush and there are just a small movement when rotating the engine. With flush i mean when the pin is the furthest...

The advance unit is new. But i will check both. Just needed to start somewhere as this is all new to me. Thanks for all the input and tips. I try to learn as i go 😉

It's on idle

Oh... i never did anything with the brushes. Thanks for notice. I will have a look at that!

Took it for the first test run.

Thanks! That make sense since there are kick backs

As i understand it my timing is retarded. Do i turn the timing plate clockwice to get it more advanced? Running a newtronic ignition and kickstart only. Cheers!

This is the new filter after 20 min of running (not riding) Could maybe be from the old oil as i changed it coold?

Yes, that was my worn advance unit. Ordered a new one. Ok, i will do a compression test. Guess there are "how to" threads in this great forum. Thanks again!

Thanks! I have new filters. Just don't want to do more damage to the engine. But as i understand this is quit normal. Some of the metal sticks to a magnet But Most of it don't. Yes, i havet also used xs650chop and heidentuning as shipping to Sweden is to expensive from outside EU. I will have...

Tanks! Will check the oil pump as well

Hello. Bought this bike a few years back as a chopper project. Had the engine running but never did any closer inspection as i never worked on engines. But maybe i have to start learning now 🤣 was going to do a oil change and found this small black plastic parts and metal fragments on the very...

That leads me to the next question. The bike came with an old newtronics electric ignition on it. Do i still need the advance unit? Sorry, never worked on engines and don't really see what this advance unit do. Maybe someone can explain how they work

Are those weights worn, or should they looks like this. Should i get new ones or are they still ok?
