gorbys Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 I couldn't get all this to add up with the low compression. Like why would it be so bad if the piston rings where new,valves lapped.... so I checked timing and... bingo! Cams where off. I don't know, maybe the crank moved when they where installed I redid them and boy did it make all the difference! After some fettling with the carbs and idle i had it sitting at 1200 for minutes! Damn steady! I'm delighted! Will sync the carbs tomorrow, recheck ignition timing and compression. Take a test ride 4 Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 always pays to double check cam timing Quote Link to comment
gorbys Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Short video of it idling and a little rev. Probably still a bit fat https://youtube.com/shorts/rJWhrDFmxP0?si=OPjBRL2MNHBxBtLJ Quote Link to comment
