Ted,
Again...if the bike is running ok initially then you can rule out those things that would cause it to run poorly whether the bike was cold or not. For example...let's say a mouse made a nest in one of the pipes....that problem would show up under any condition.
You can install the dist eaily enough. Guzziology has a good description of how to do it but you basically have to make sure the left hand cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke and then insert the dist shaft so that the cam lobe is just at the point of opening the points. Remember that you have to be on the right cam lobe as there are two of them. I think the contact on rotor should point at 6 o'clock...downwards? Also...be sure that the dist adjusting bolt is in the middle of the adjustment range.
You know.....I am thinking that if the bike starts to misfire at high rpms....you sure you have the right jets in there? I remember somebody once had all kinds of problems...turns out the PO had installed the wrong jets in it. Either that or they are blocked.
...Ian

| I wish it was in your garage too :) Thanks for the distributor info. You brought up another good point about the distributor. How do I put it back in? Hadn't thought that far ahead. I need to work on the clutch anyway and I have a timing wheel, so I imagine that will help somehow. The gears look ok, the thing I was curious about was the pin that Greg Bender mentioned possibly being sheared, it looks ok. Once the bike is warm, it seems to idle fine and if I rev it up, it might sputter a little, but nothing to worry about, once you start driving it though it sputters and misses under acceleration or while trying to maintain speed. I haven't noticed any excessive black smoke. Though I just noticed the little internal pipe has started coming out of the back of one of my stock mufflers. I am wondering if the exhaust outlet might be plugged up. Thanks, Ted |
