Got the engine back together, new rings, valve seals, and lapped the valves. Had to tweak the idle screw to get it running but the manual says the a/f screws are preset. I have them set a 1.5 turns out. Anyone know the proper setting?
Just edited my signature with bike info.
Another question on the cylinder, the parts fiche shows an o-ring under one of the dowels. There wasn't one on my cylinder and there's no part number showing for it. Is it needed??
Since the dealer screwed up I'm getting the base gasket for free and I can keep the spare head gasket. Wish I had seen the auction before, would have went that route. Thanks.
I suspected they gave me duplicate parts. At least I can keep both head gaskets and the dealer is ordering the right base gasket - now wait 2 weeks to get it !!
Ordered a new base gasket and head gasket for my 82. Opened up the packages and they look to be the same - they both have metal inserts for the cylinders - shouldn't one be paper the other metal ??
