Okay oil leak is fixed but I am at a loss of what the sound I am hearing is... its not really a squeek it's more of a WEEP WEEP WEEP WEEP sound when the bike is at idle.....
Very Loud.
Kinda hard to tell where it is coming from... maybe the Right Side....
You need to find out where it's coming from or give more details so we can guess. You say it's at idle, but is it when hot/cold, right or left side, only when you're on the bike, etc, etc.
After all it's your bike- you are the only one that can hear it.
Check oil level, remove valve covers and see if you have oil to top end with engine running. It won't spray out at idle but it should 'spot'.
You may have to remove clutch cover and check oil feed contraption to centrifugal filter, (inside clutch cover) its rare but it can come apart
you think it could be the rockers or something to do with the points.... ??? ?
I'm going to upload a video tomorrow so you can hear what the hell im talking about.
I would spray something like carb cleaner or ether around the intake manifolds that will help locate a leak there. Otherwise I'd start pulling covers. You can also spray a soap and water solution around the head and base gasket areas and check for bubbles there.
Air leak most likely, I have had that twice and both were air leaks. One on the butterfly valve shaft seal and one today on the choke plunger seal. Spray a little carb cleaner or starting fluid on parts of the carb while the bike is idling and if you have a leak the idle will fluctuate. Usually quite a bit of fluctuation.
Are plugs wet?
May be too rich without air leak?
Your probably going to have to re-check carbs, if you had experience you could probably get them nailed second time, as is, you may be inside them 4 or 5 times, plus re-check everything else you've looked at and everything you haven't looked at
The quickest thing to do is start at the beginning
Start with doing a basic service
adjust valves
check timing
clean carbs and check carb settings.
Check battery for fluid level (if it's not black body sealed one) and voltage
Check wiring connectors are all fully inserted and tight (close up loose ones CAREFULLY with a pliers and re-fit male into female bullets)
