nightmarebanshee Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 pickup gap is where? down by stator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmarebanshee Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 so would that limit the powerband? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Make sure nubs on flywheel are clean. Check gap at both nubs. Are carbs clean like virgin pussy or 8 mile hooker? Retorque after heat cycles? Even though new top end, what's the compression? What does the spark look like? Have you ohmed coil and plug caps? Check all connections? Clean bare metal at coil mount or seperate ground for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Did you leak test it? Plug chop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Timing plate, adjustable or stk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmarebanshee Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 see what i dont understand is that it uses the same amount of fuel wot in 1-4 as it does in 5th and 6th right? it doesnt sense what gear it just knows throttle position ill have a chance to take a look at it tomorrow and im gonna try and build a leak down tester or see if the shop by me has one. might have the guy that owns the shop take it for a spin and see what he thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightmarebanshee Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 ill check that too it might have gotten bumped out of time while working on the engine..i think i remember seeing the plate for it if its out of time what should it be set at?

nightmarebanshee Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 well i think i got a couple.bugs figured out...got to looking at ignition coil.and the ground was spliced in 2 spots so i got rid of one splice and cleaned carbs again real good. i can hit wot 3rd 4th and doesnt cut out but 1st and 2ndi lose a cylinder and it follows the plug boot when i move it. havnt checked pickup gap or done compression test thats next on my list and i also might move my main up to 290-300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmarebanshee Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 yeah it follows it...i havnt ohmed it out im gonna do that tonight. the compression shouldnt be bad i would. think with a fresh top end it starts first or second kick everytime.
