 Since the 70 was so tippy and I noticed the forks were shorter than the sandcast, I made chrome moly tube spacers 1 1/4" long and stacked them on the springs. I took apart a set of 6" over tubes to check the size. Now it sits up nice and worries of it tipping over are less of a problem.  I haven't ridden it yet due to carb issues involving sand from blasting in the gas tank.  With any luck the rattle will be gone, but I believe it's the caliper bracket pivot end play.

 My brother said air cooled VW valve springs stacked on the stock springs are quite effective. Unfortunately he has cornered the market on them in storage.

   Blue-Green bike,cylinder number three not firing. plug swap, still #3, check spark, looks great, drop fuel bowl, level looks good, check float operation, seems correct, fuel flowing, dropped jets, they are clean. Blew through jets while installed ?, #2 firing good. 1,2,4 pipes heat up nicely rocker arms set properly, lash OK. rockers rocking, new exhaust not plugged. nothing leaking now, pipe heats some with rpm but not enough. Raised the slide just in case the screw had backed off no change. Will need bench balanced again now. recent plug caps. denso plugs.
 Looks like a compression check and carb removal again. So much for riding it to Ohio.

Name them names!

 Trey Nalley, Nalley Racing. Stiffed me on the Honda used 4-4's but got my money back to me after 3 weeks of excuses. Another member sent the money because Trey has no paypal. He hasn't gotten the stuff yet that he was getting to send me my refund. I was offered a set of 4 cable parts carbs to keep me happy. I didn't get them either. 
 Trey acts like we're good, we are not. If you don't have it, don't sell it. If you make a deal and later regret it, follow through. He called me, I wasn't searching for the stuff.

  Edit, tonight I stumbled across the pic of the pipes I never got. I despise a crook.

Trey has already pulled similar hijinks with other members.  It was a couple years ago.  I was under the impression that b Benton had smacked some sense into him.

 Anyway with that business out of the way, a member here checked with me to make sure I got square. I'm done with it.
   I bought a new set of Yamiya no number pipes from DSS. then I coated the insides, it's surprising how cool the headers are on the surface.
   Today I learned how to set my 4 cable carbs properly and made a blow gun with a 1/16th copper tube to reach the carb inlets. I blew out the passages on the bike and cleaned them again, and finally got a test ride. This thing pulls awesome, it's not as peaky as I expected, there is a little left side miss at cruise rpm, I'll re-clean those two tomorrow and take it for a 30 mile test. This is probably the first time it's run this good since I repaired the bent valve, swapped in the cam and new springs. Somehow the left grip got slimy inside and I had trouble hanging on under a lot of throttle.
 
 I printed a pic of it to pin to the cycle shop bulletin board owned the guy that assembled my sandcast from the crate. He may have done this one also, we'll clear that up too. We know I have the first one sold here, he has the second and this green one may be the third. There's approx. 4,000 numbers between each one. 5511, 9600 and 14,100. I want his.

 My plan is to adapt a wide band o2 sensor to a spare baffle I have so I can check one cylinder at a time on both bikes and maybe a set of 4-1's I have.

Don...no idea if this helps with your picture posting problems or not...at 7/11/2019, 6:42 pm, I can see your most recently posted pic.  The next time I look at this thread, it may be gone.  Sometimes, you post a pic and I can see it, then the next time your thread comes up because others are saying the pic is not viewable, I go back and look and it is gone for me too.

slikwilli420 was having the same problem with the same hosting service.  He may know how to fix it.

Thanks, I had two parts bikes and drove 30 miles to my friends bike shop looking for info on spokes or rims. His wife does the parts and she said I needed some Lesters. I went home and searched for Lester mags on craigslist and there was this bike. A few miles from that shop. The bike's owner cloned the shop owners bike because he couldn't buy it. So here is a town of maybe 50 people and two K0 750's with Lester mags.
 I actually bought a no title K0 for the rims so I could make this one a spoke rim bike. Buuuut that's not happening any time soon.

I'm calling it a resto mod and done. As a contrast to the red Sandcast survivor. I procured a 69 engine with a non stamped replacement case but the 836 is just too much fun. I don't see me changing it any time soon. I'm ready to enjoy it for a couple years.

 Thanks, the red one came from a friends estate. I had to bid on it to get it. When he was alive he let me look at it to see how to rebuilt the green one. I think he wanted me to have it. After I got it running I rode it to show the family.
