I think you should give up on this bike. Just get a yearly bus pass.

I got it out. How much force is adequate for the .002 like at first when I put it in it doesn't go but then I push it in and then I can move it around.

Again if anyone is near northern jersey please stop by haha

flybox1 · « **Reply #52 on:** March 10, 2016, 12:04:29 PM »

dont force anything.
if your .002 goes in fine, see if the .003 goes in.
If the .003 goes in you're gap is still too big.
if it doesnt go in, recheck the .002....if it fits, move on to your next one.

Dos · « **Reply #53 on:** March 10, 2016, 12:18:44 PM »

I'm using a long flat feeler gauge now cause my other snapped so I don't feel like his is a very accurate way.. Getting pretty frustrated but I'm gonna cool off and do this.

Again anyone in the area just stop on by you'll know your close when you hear some curse words being shouted lol

Do what Flybox said. It sounds like you are making this waaaaaaay harder than it actually is.
You should feel a slight amount of drag on the feeler that should go in. The next size up should not go in.

What do you mean 'internal'?

Dos · « **Reply #58 on:** March 10, 2016, 08:34:54 PM »

Piston rod , piston rod bearing the nocking vibrations seem to be coming from the case

Dos · « **Reply #59 on:** March 10, 2016, 11:19:19 PM »

I am a train wreck haha.. I am going to try one more time. I have spoken to several people with this and they say the knocking is coming from the engine which just brings me down but ill listen and try ill let you know whats up

flybox1 · « **Reply #61 on:** March 11, 2016, 09:00:56 AM »

of course the noise is coming from the engine

you need to clean your carbs
you need to bench sync them
you need to complete your timing and advance check. you only said you 'think its ok'
its either right or it isnt.
you need to set your cam chain tension....cant do this till your carbs are done and you have the bike running reasonably well.

when all is done....THEN, you can do a vacuum sync of the carbs. Its truly amazing how an accurate vacuum sync can quiet an engine.

...and if its STILL NOISY after all that....you have earned the right to complain .

is my day off, and im going for a ride

DaveBarbier · « **Reply #62 on:** March 11, 2016, 09:40:22 AM »

Dude, you're insane, haha. Is your name Dos because you're bipolar?

Dos · « **Reply #63 on:** March 11, 2016, 04:00:06 PM »

Hey guys so I went for a ride today on my bike!

I talked on the phone with Gary for alittle bit and I adjusted my pilot air screws alittle bit and the knocking has gone way down.. Just need to sync them up..

I really don't want to take the carbs off but the bike isn't running bad at all. It starts right up, seems to have alittle bit of a fight at idle and I think because I need to vacuum sync. Bench sync is when you take them off and put a bit at the fin and make sure they are all even and a vacuum sync is when you use the gauges correct?

flybox1 · « **Reply #64 on:** March 11, 2016, 04:41:22 PM »

Yes, a vacuum sync is done with four gauges, dial or fluid type.
As I posted above, a vacuum sync is done only when all other maintenance items are complete.
You still have items to complete.

Dos · « **Reply #65 on:** March 11, 2016, 05:17:06 PM »

Yeah yeah I know.

can you bench sync without taking the carbs off?

With vacuuming syncing I gotta find a kit somewhere, maybe this mechanic near me can lend me them for an hour.

Dos · « **Reply #66 on:** March 11, 2016, 05:28:45 PM »

I did my tappets ( valves) they are good. i can get my .002 gauge in there just right..

Timing I am going to do I don't have a strobe though.

Seeing as how BENCH syncing is done on a work BENCH, no...you cannot bench sync them without taking the carbs off.
Unless you can get the whole bike up there, and even then it'll be difficult.

Someone local please go help Dos!

qside · « **Reply #68 on:** March 12, 2016, 03:13:16 AM »

As I told him he can throw his bike on a truck and drive the 4 hours to Syracuse. We can get everything done in a few hours and then grab a beer. Kyle could even come with us. A day well spent!

Spent 2 hours on the phone with him yesterday... he's starting to get it.

DaveBarbier · « **Reply #69 on:** March 12, 2016, 04:53:10 AM »

I think he recently moved from Brooklyn. I work in Brooklyn and I would have definitely stopped by. Could I have helped? Eh, probably not, but he would have had someone to freak out with

Dos · « **Reply #70 on:** March 12, 2016, 08:00:41 AM »

Gary helped me out which was really great and nice. I went riding and the bike is pretty good. Definitely needs a good sync and the cam chain tensioner needs to be adjusted.

With pilot air screw we are at a full turn out however it ran better at half a turn out for some reason.

The bike stills runs pretty hot and I can't figure that out but it runs at least. Anyone know why it would get so hot?

If anyone is around or in Brooklyn could I stop by or if they could stop by with a vacuum sync kit I would appreciate it !

Dos · « **Reply #71 on:** March 12, 2016, 09:42:20 AM »

Should I make my own carb sync tool or do you think it's more reliable to just go out and buy one?

Can you explain how to do a plug chop?

Also, I would like to say thank you to everyone for helpin this dingus out and especially to Gary.

Dos · « **Reply #72 on:** March 12, 2016, 02:35:59 PM »

Took her for a ride this is how she sounds.. Not to bad cam chain has to get tensioned. Knocking is still there alittle bit.

When I put the screw driver to my ear down by the bottom end it vibrates up pretty hard

Yes I know! I'm gonna vacuum sync the carbs!

Scott S · « **Reply #73 on:** March 12, 2016, 07:41:43 PM »

Spend the $45 and be done with it.
