Well, that was a long time between updates! I had to make a few big trips for work and school as well has been sucking all my free time the past 2 months. I finally got a hold of a compression tester and the results are not very motivating. Very low compression on both sides and this seems...

This is so awesome!

Hahaha man you guys are really wanting to get this bike running! I have been totally busy with reports for school the past days and I couldn't get any spare time to go over there and work on the bike. I will do this tomorrow and come back with some news for everyone.

Haha after reading that, I feel more along the lines of being screwed. :thumbsup: All good though, because this stuff can always be fixed one way or another. It might take a little longer than I expected and I might have to buy a lot more parts than expected, but I'm sure this one can be...

I haven't been able to do a compression test just yet. I am waiting to borrow a gauge from a friend this week as I don't have the spare change hanging around to buy one for limited use. I'll post up the results when done.

Oh I have done this a few days ago already. I traced the LH and RH cylinder wires back to the contact bracket and checked with the manual as well to see that they were set right. And just for shits and giggles (we had the same thought) I switched the wires this morning when I did the test again...

The fluid is very flammable and yes it turns into a torch if I hold a flame to the end. I'm with you on thinking it is more a compression issue, now. I just need to get a compression tester, so hopefully I can find one to borrow from a friend. I will dive into it tomorrow and set the valve...

All of this is done and working. There is spark 100% and the battery is fully charged.

OK, I have just tried to start the while spraying brake cleaner in the intake. Result: Nothing at all I then took the spark plugs out right away and they were just as dry as when I put them in. Why would this be!? Any ideas? The plugs are Champion N9YC plugs and when I search this on their...

Hey Willem! It's nice to see someone close by on the forum as well! I live in Breda, so not the closest but still pretty close haha. I was going to try and find some starter fluid today, but you are saying I can use just brake cleaner? I have brake cleaner, that is for sure.

I'm going to get on that and make sure it isn't clogged. Boom :thumbsup: thanks for that explanation, I completely understand it now.

I will try the compression test and let you guys know when possible. Ok thanks a lot, I get what you're talking about now. I will have to check it out again when I'm over there this week. I have another carburetor question: The diaphragm is supposed to move when you are cranking or not...

I have taken out these ports as well and they are totally clean. With the valve cover and head, would it be possible to get the head and valve cover faces to be machined to fit? I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "making noise"? A bad noise or just working? I have spark and the ignition...

I had some time to work on the bike this afternoon, so I went and took the carburetors apart again. Here are the photos like I promised: The bowls were full of fuel, so there is for sure fuel join to the carbs Main Jet...

I'm simply questioning and I'm not deliberately trying to argue. I am in the process of cleaning the carbs again and I will take some photos this time to post up. :thumbsup: I'm not able to get any starting fluid until at least Monday. With this said, I have put some gas into a spray bottle...
