Been Around the Block
So I went to set the timing after wiring up my project, and turning the alternator will not pass a certain random point in the rotation. I It's almost like there was something stuck between the gears and it just "clunks" to an abrupt halt...It does *not* get stuck -- I can turn it freely clockwise and back to that clunk at the same point in the rotation. The stopping is similar to trying to turn the rear wheel when in gear...
I'm pretty sure it's a point almost exactly 360 degrees that it won't pass.
I pulled off the right crankcase to see if a washer or something jiggled loose and got caught in the gears but nothing.
It sounds like the "clunk" is coming from the head, but I don't have the patience to pull that tonight (my least fav routine)...and I think I'm afraid it's a bent valve for some reason...
More info:
Fresh rebuild, bore/hone/etc but fired up and idled on one cylinder a couple days ago (I suspect electrical on that side, motor turned fine) - timing was set before starting it.
Since I shut it down last, I installed the chain and sprockets and did other non-motor related stuffs
Rear wheel moves freely in neutral, will not in gear
Thanks
