i think i have a cam a tooth off, any opinions before i pull the rocker cover off?

 

[BigSexy03]

Timings right, I'm lost

Mine coughed at idle very bad when the rubber between the airbox and the top of the carb were out of place allowing an airleak. Pilot screw wouldn't do anything and it was harder to start because it was leaned out.

Dd you just build this engine? Or is this an engine that had been running good and just started to act up?

 

[z-mann]

you try stock timing curve?

 

[DIXIETUFF]

Checked the valves? Choke stuck?

 

[Camo]

Take that Brute Flywheel out. Exact same thing. Exact with the VDI and BF flywheel.

 

[novass]

pull your spark plugs see if any of the 2 are black could be choke plungers or lkike riverkid said carbs loose

 

[BigSexy03]

the chokes are good in the carbs, i dont have choke cables.

this is with the stock CDI, i cant get the VDI to fire.

valves are adjusted correctly

Nova this is the first time ive fired this engine.

Found out part of the problem was the slide springs are too stiff for not having an airbox, cut some rounds off and it got better but still not right.

 

[z-mann]

hey semi sexy.. you need a stock v flywheel and the stator cover or whatever to try let me know..

Check to see if you have both a/f screws, sometimes they can come out.

In the carb diaphragms there is a small rice sized jet that has to align in a groove, check that.

 

[BigSexy03]

both screws are they, as i remember checking their settings

im running 39mm carbs ill double check the tiny jet thing

I know you said you checked your cam timing but is it possible that you have a cam entirely 180* out?

I cannot remember protocol for checking the timing, I know you rotate 270* in a certain direction..

that's when i break out the manual.

 

[BigSexy03]

nope not 180 out, checkd that too

thanks for all the ideas anything elsE?

 

[minimus]

Both slides flutter when you give it gas. If not one of the diaphragms is leaking and needs readjusted. If this is ok something plugging the pilots. Are these stock carbs?

 

[minimus]

One other thing, the cam with the groove around just before your lobes is the rear cam.

 

[BigSexy03]

pilots are clean, ill double check the diaphragms, cams are correct

 

[Overspray]

It really sounds like you're sucking air from somewhere.

 

[RAWDAWG700]

Are these the same carbs you had out in Idaho???

 

[BigSexy03]

yea rawdawg they are, badhear ill double check
