As dohc says, i would second dont pull the engine out (with the caveat of, until after you have a plan). What were you thinking of pulling it out for? Any ideas on why it doesn't start? Get it going and stopping properly first, then work from there. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

I have the engine completely apart currently, just putting new seals and checking everything - but in terms of power right now only putting on an aftermarket exhaust. I may in the future decide to bore it, put in a hot cam, and the respective top end supporting mods (new valves, better valve...

Another steampunk bike!! Can't wait to see the finished product and all those immaculate details. Love your work

Aaannd shes done!! For now anyways. Im sure ill get the desire to put a hot cam in and bore it out.. But for now, heres the current product
