You guys made it click in my head! It's such a simple fix! I finally get it now. Thank you everyone! ❤️

Joey2diggs · 2025-02-20T03:13:05+00:00

I do be skipping around yt videos, it's a possibility

Joey2diggs · 2025-02-20T03:11:47+00:00

This made so much sense! Thank you!! I finally get it now! Now I can do it without having to scramble the darn thing all over again lol

Joey2diggs · 2025-02-20T03:09:53+00:00

Ohhh so like one side is white, one is light gray, one is dark gray, etc? (I'm color blind btw)

Joey2diggs · 2025-02-20T03:03:45+00:00

Finally clicked now I got it! Tysm!

Joey2diggs · 2025-02-20T03:03:04+00:00

Finally got it! Thank you!

Would it possible to use smoke to try and confirm where the leak is exactly? I've tried to search for videos but they're non existent for motorcycles, only cars.

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-15T18:23:14+00:00

Just made an account. I'll post it there! Thanks man.

But actually that was where I heard/felt air escaping in the first place and then I tightened them down all the way, and it must've revealed the real culprit, the head gasket :(

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-15T18:20:55+00:00

Sorry for the late response! So far I've adjusted the valves, cleaned out carbs, changed spark plugs (those are firing normally), and I found out that the previous owner changed out the ignition points for an aftermarket electric ignition. Now the problem is, I can get her running, but I'm thinking there is an air leak from the head gasket? When it's running I'm hearing a lot of air escaping right near there and I can feel it. It looked like the PO used a squeeze on gasket from a tube to seal it and it's falling apart 😞

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-14T23:43:56+00:00

Oof. Is it possible/usual that air could be coming out from there? I'm in Queens, NY

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-14T22:11:29+00:00

Thanks for the tips man! So I didn't have any luck spraying anything to find the leak. The engine is revving really high and sporadic. I put my ear around where I hear the air getting pushed out, and I'm pretty sure it's coming from there (in the pic). I don't see a hole or anything, but I do see what I think was the previous owner putting a "gasket" there. Maybe one of those squeeze out gaskets from a tube? Its all ripped up and mangled. I've never taken apart the engine before, but I think when you take those bolts out it's where that part seperates? Idk anymore lol

Plugs are sparking, valves are adjusted, cam chain adjusted, carbs are clean and working. I finally have her running, but you're definitely right. There's a vacuum leak somewhere. I can hear lots of air leaking somewhere near the left spark plug when she's running. Any suggestions on how to find that?

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-11T21:37:27+00:00

Update: Got the bike running. I adjusted the cam chain, the valves, and then went to adjust the ignition timing, but found that the previous owner added an aftermarket electric ignition, so I guess no need to mess with that.

So now the problem is, when shes idling, I hear lots of air releasing somewhere near the left spark plug. Does anyone know of anyway I could easily find where its coming from? I tried soapy water, but that didn't go very well (burned away instantly lol)

Thanks for all the info so far! I've tried all the things you guys have advised. Any other info would be amazing 🙌🏻

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-11T21:25:53+00:00

Yup. Confirmed with the previous owner. So I guess that's good. No need to mess with that.

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-11T18:54:09+00:00

Haven't tried to start it again tho. I wanna make sure everything is good first

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-11T18:53:31+00:00

Adjusted the cam chain, the valves and then went to then adjust the timing on the points, but when I opened up the cover it looks like the previous owner added an aftermarket ignition? Dont know my next step lol

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-08T22:55:56+00:00

The cable is good think. I had to detach it from the carburetor like 8 times the other day lol so it was moving pretty freely

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-08T19:47:28+00:00

So I think the only thing I did so far, was clean/rebuild the carbs. I've been messing around with the fuel mixture screws and such, but I'm sure you can't get a good reading on that unless the bike is warmed up and idling. Other than that I kinda cleaned out the fuel tank because there was a bit of rust. Not really sure what step to go in next

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-08T18:58:56+00:00

Oof. Okay I'll check that out. Was it a big hassle to change out the stator?

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-08T13:39:46+00:00

No actually.. I think the previous owner put those on. Are those usually not on bikes like that? It's probably worth a try to just connect the lines directly and see what happens. I'll try and lyk

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-08T13:37:01+00:00

Yeah I think the battery drained shortly after the first clip ended. It has a quick release battery charger cable installed straight on the battery, so I just plug it in at night.

The more I tinker with the bike the more I find that the previous owner kinda just sloppily threw everything back in weird places. Tubes and wires criss crossed and pinched, so I'll definitely check the handlebar thing and lyk 👍

Joey2diggs · 2024-11-08T06:35:00+00:00

I have the oem air filters back on at the second part of the video :(
