Finally, something with some substance!
Here you see my temporary solution to mounting the taillight. With the bike sitting at its current height, I couldnt put it where I want it, but once I get the back end lifted to where I want, without interference, I'll make something permanent.
Here you see my cams and chain exposed, with the TDC timing marks aligned. I easily found the joint link with them incu this position, but something didn't seem right.... Upon further investigation I found that the timing marks for the ignition didn't match up with the timing marks for the cams.
This is how the timing should look, as the marks indicated the right cylinder was at TDC. Instead, with the cams aligned, I found...
The ignition timing actually looked like this.
I am 100% certain that someone was in this motor before me, so I can see two things that may have happened, both easily repaired while the head is off.
1) the cams are misaligned with actual TDC and the ignition marks are the ones I should use to time the motor.
2) the ignition drive is misaligned with actual TDC, and I should use the marks on the cams to re-set the igntion timing marks. Tentatively, I'm going to use the cam timing marks, as the ignition didn't seem to jive with compression events while spinning the motor by hand...
We'll see soon enough!
Also will let you know that both sides are the same ! Kind of i dont have the right tool for the job so going to make do
