Thanks for the great responses, I tried to answer each question in this one
post.
I have no firing at either cylinder, I have checked/set the valve
clearances, and on my cold compression test, I am only getting about 85 to
90 psi with the throttle wide open. I assume this is low, but if I have the
timing off dramatically, could this cause the valves to be open a bit on
compression stroke? I did speak with a guy on the phone that told me that it
is common to have the timing marks misaligned on the pulley of the
loopframes, something about them being able to be on but on backwards??? I
have also done the mechanical carb sync that Gary referenced in an earlier
posting. Again, spark is there, fuel is there, but no bang!
Thanks again for the help,
David
