If you remove the plugs and crank her over and you have
compression, then you know the flywheel is still
attached. If it wasn't the bike would never start and
you would also hear the faster whine of the starter just
spinning on nothing. Pull on the gear attached to the
cam and check it for excessive movement. Did the valves
move at all when you spun the motor?

| Perhaps this is better for diagnostics. Went out and checked the valves were operating correctly. Both sides were good. Fired her up with valve covers off to verify the noise was not coming from the valves, and they operated fine, noise was from either engine internal, or perhaps the flywheel area as some indicated. She stalled out and when I tried to start her back up, she cranks freely and won't start, I think something broke loose? Perhaps the flywheel as some indicated? Will pull the starter next to see if the flywheel is the culprit. I put her in gear and the rear wheel turns as I crank, does that mean the starter is indeed engaging but something else is shot? Distributor perhaps? Help! Keith Ruff 71 Police Ambassador - NJ |
