How do you get out the spring pin that holds the kickstart shaft? Number 9.

ITs a bear. Many threads on this, when I did mine a few years ago. Settled on a small vicegrip; squeeeze what bit of the pin you can reach and tap up on the vice grips. Once it moves, reposition the VG to grab a little more and repeat.

Thanks! I will take my time, left it aside yesterday.

Oh yeah, I remember now. Once setting the vice grip, I used a long screwdriver (maybe it was a tire iron) to pry on it. There was some point that made an obvious fulcrum. Once it moves, reposition the grips and repeat.

Certainly are worn. Won't a pin punch drive that out? Remember I have a later model trans complete...Larry

Right! You do. I suppose they are compatible 1970 - 1975, right? I will buy it from you.

That pin can only go one direction. If you tap on it it stops against the floor of the hole its in. It must be withdrawn.

I think I'm remembering correctly.

I will check into it. Maybe invidual gears can be replaced only.

The sprocket shaft is different, The K7-8 is longer if I remember correctly. It could be used but the chain will not align correctly with the rear sprocket.

If the gears are the same , it'd be a cheap fix for Prokop as I'd sell real cheap

I will do my reaserch and get back to you, Larry. I could be only swapping gears, keeping shafts.

I took apart the head, Frank was right. knee mill is the easiest way to compress valve springs, it worked like a charm.

In K0 style, no guide seals on intake side - I removed two already here. Loved the tight fit of under the spring washers, they were hard to remove because of tight tolerancies.

The underside.

Got it out yesterday, vice grips and twisting motion worked easy enough, thank you.

This was my Robinson Crusoe moment; somebody worked the intake the way Hondaman describes in his book.

calj737 · « **Reply #340 on:** October 02, 2015, 04:52:34 am »

perhaps an answer as to why #4 would not synchronize equally with the others? A DIY porting job that created unequal port flows. Apologies if you previously stated the rebuild specs, but what is the intention on the motor? Stock rebuild or "turned up" a touch?

70CB750 · « **Reply #341 on:** October 02, 2015, 05:05:25 am »

Could be the porting job; also I remember once she ate the pin from the carburetor choke flap door; I found only the flap inside the carburetor but there are no siginificant nicks on valve or valve seat.

Plans for the engine: if possible I will only hone and install new rings, depends how worn out cylinders are; with only minor improvements such as aftermarket tensioner and replacing worn out parts.

She had all the power I cared to use and more

Now the valves have dimples where the tappet adjuster pushed on them, I may need to replace all the valves.

Ouch! If the prices of those is anything like the 5xx models

70CB750 · « **Reply #343 on:** October 02, 2015, 05:59:43 am »

Not sure how much 5xx go for, but the SuperSport engine was the worst - valves, springs, retainers and guides plus 2 Neway cutters.

Looks like CycleX can fix me for reasonable price:

ENV-015 $149.00 per set of 8 (4 Intake and 4 Exhaust)

Cleaned pistons.

This is how one of the rings came out, looks like the little piece was riding there quite happily for a while, the break surface is not fresh.

70CB750 · « **Reply #347 on:** October 03, 2015, 07:51:09 am »

Oil rings - I never seen oil rings like these before.

And the inner and outer rings were all lined up, meaning the gap was open.

70CB750 · « **Reply #348 on:** October 03, 2015, 08:18:58 am »

Crankshaft out of the way and safe.

70CB750 · « **Reply #349 on:** October 05, 2015, 04:49:48 am »

The engine stand needed some additional fabrication.
