    Check the feeds from the ignition pick ups to the CDI for continuity too.

    This has been the culprit in a few of my issues with similar symptoms.

    Exterior signal line actually touching manifold in one circumstance. Bad connectors in the others

  2. Thank you wraith

    I knew someone in OSS Land had done it before just couldn't remember who, when or if I even was I remembering it correctly.

    Ya Rene I don't think a 4.5 rim is your wheel house ;)

    My current ES project is minimal mods (not very OSS, I know) I'll be more ambitious on my up coming EF project.

  3. Can someone double check my rod specs.

     

    749cc = 18mm ID / 37mm ID x 109.5mm

    750 srad= 16mm ID / 37mm ID x 106mm

    1052cc = 20mm ID / 41mm ID x 117.5mm

    1127cc = 20mm ID / 41mm ID x 117mm

  4.  $500 Complete, in running condition but needs a new swingarm as the current owner went to town with a grinder on it trying to squeeze in a wider wheel... he was apparently unsuccessful.

    If you buy it I have an extra swingarm are down here in Oregon that could work for you.

    Its a little tweeked but it looks good and I don't think it would take much to get it straightened.

  5.  

     can you re use the head gasket if you are careful when taking the head off?

    I know your way past this point but yes you can reuse head gasket providing it hasn't been bent or otherwise damaged.

    It's common practice with 2-stroke engines. I quite often do it when I'm screwing around with heads and / or I know the gasket is fairly new.

    I also do it when when I'm working on a rat bike that I suspect has other issues or when it's not worth waiting on gaskets in the post.

    Use plenty of copper head gasket spray.

     

    However if I'm doing a restoration on an engine that wont be touched for years after I go ahead with a new one.

     

  6. oil filler vent in dash 8,  additional cam cover weld on in dash 10

    Having a hard time imagining these two, pics pretty please Gixer1460 :D

    Plus, has anyone tried a weld-on location in the top case? Some where above or behind the transmission i'm thinking.

  7. Advantage is increase in oil pressure, reduction of oil temp by not passing oil through the hot block and avoidance of the notoriously leaky block / cases joint. Easy enough to do - tap hole M6 and add grub screws - job done.

    Ohhhh right, seems so obvious now
