Buy 7mm copper core spark plug wire in bulk. Cut to the length you need using old wires as templates. One end screws into the plug boot, the other into the coils.
Yes, Lift slides, all plugs removed, full charge battery! What is your plug gap? Did a lot of work today. Pretty much went through the whole tune-up process to make sure all was within spec. Adjusted cam chain tensioner. Disassembled/cleaned/lubed timing advance mechanism. Pulser generator gap set ...
What do your plugs look like? Also possibly sounds like an intermittent ignition issue. how's your timing? spark advanced cleaned and working smoothly?
Thanks guys. Compression is still about what it was when I bought the bike, about 120 psi on all cylinders. I've been riding it fairly hard varying throttle positions and loads trying to get the rings to set. Been using Lucas fuel system cleaner in the tank and also decarbonised with water/steam. Ch...
Hi guys. I posted this on the SOHC4 forums hoping to reach a larger audience, but had little luck there. Here's the scoop. I'm hoping to get some guidance setting up, or rather jetting, the carbs correctly on my 1981 CB650C. Background: Engine has ~19K miles. PO installed new rings prior to selling ...
You'll need a tool similar to this. It's a hollow tube with a hex end that fits over the nut and a screwdriver that slides down the tube that allows you to adjust the screw while holding the nut, and vise versa. http://www.bikebandit.com/motion-pro-carburetor-adjustment-tool?WT.mc_id=googlemerchantf...
Ha, yes......the rubber torri (torusses) were installed and the pucks do return/retract when pressure is released. Thanks for the insight....this makes sense and explains how/why the pistons behave the way they do. Always wondered how/why they did this. Cheers!
Found the old pads and put them in. Problem solved! No rubbing and the rotors were nice a cool to the touch after a short test ride. Initial hunch was correct.....apparently the new pads were too thick. I'll sand down new pads a little and put them in tomorrow. FYI: These are Bike Master brand brake...
Did a bit more tinkering, but no obvious solution yet. I replaced the rebuilt OEM MC with an aftermarket unit . Pads still rub on rotor and the rotors do get hot after riding 3-4 miles. I removed the pads from the left caliper and pumped out the piston a bit. It would not retract when trying to pry ...
