Andy,
Good thought. I did the timing myself, which is probably not a good thing.
I will try to retard the timing a bit. Thanks Andy, Bob

bob-
do you mean that it 'turns over really slow when warmed up'? -- if the
ignition timing is too far advanced, that can cause this symptom, too. |

Peter,
Sure glad to hear that your experience with a loop is a good one.
I finally got the starboard cylinder to fire pretty consistently by just
changing to proper carb jet size - #60s were in there and I installed |
| | as per Mark's suggestion. Big difference. Now the bike won't start when |
| | is hot. Perhaps starter or coil. Will continue working on this. Wish |
| | was a mechanic someimes. Best, Bob Hawkes

Got 600 mi in on the 71 since getting it on the road 4 weeks ago. |
|
| | | | shifting problems ( not finding neutral, popping out of gear) has gone |
| | Probably the rider has learned how to shift without beating up the |
| | The sneezing or one missed firing seems to have stopped in the last |
|
| | mi.
| | Maybe there was some crud in the carbs. I haven't cleaned them yet.
I learned I have fuel for 4 miles in reserve before going bone dry.
Brakes seem to have seated in pretty well. Much better than when I
started.
All in all I am pretty satisfied with the performance. The bike has |
|
| | | | been registered since 1978, so I dont think it got much attention in |
|
| | | | past 20+ years. All I had to do was put in new tires, brakes, |
|
| | | | brake and speedo cable, plug wires, horns and added horns an light |
|
| | | | replace corroded terminals and add directional signals and mirrors. |
| | head bearings and rear drive, synch the carbs, change fluids and it |
|
| | | | seemed to work.
I haven't touched carbs or timing or guts of engine or trans.
Future plans: replace left header pipe ( restricted), tap in some |
| | to allow vacuum synch'ing, add tube for 1 petcock to give some |
|
| | | | range, check timing, try hotter plugs, add highway bars, new solo |
|
| | new
| | rear shocks. Fresh chrome parts and paint ( way in the future)
This has been a great experience so far. Thanks to all who have |
|
| | | | helped me with advice and support. And thanks to all who have asked
questions and those who answered. Its been a great leaning experience |
| | to read the exchanges. Its too bad I cant make the W NY rally in |
|
| | | | Some day, I'll meet you guys
