Some sad news today 350F

So here are some videos of the bike and the "smoke" there is also one of the breather smoke.

In the exhaust video you can see the "black water" that condensates out of the exhaust.

I use a craftsman through socket set and a flat head.
Damn things are so tiny though it takes me about 3 tries per valve to get it right

The one I am working on has square heads with no slot. I found that a #2 square head screw is a tight fit on the adjuster. I tap it on with a small hammer. It's an awesome tight fit. I successfully adjusted them this afternoon, now I am doing a little fine tuning to the carbs, raising the needle a notch.

Oh! Great idea. I love having metal grindings inside an engine...

I hate those little breather filters, they always leave an oily mess. With my pods I drilled holes in the metal at the back end and installed 90 degree barbed fittings. Then I used "Y"'s to split the main breather line from 1 to 2 to 4 and ran the lines to the barbed fittings. Now the engine is sucking the breather fumes back in, just like stock.

Goes a long way to keeping the center of the bike clean.

Looks like the rings have not sealed properly allowing some blowby.

The oil was actually coming from the breather tube. On the underside was a crack that it was leaking out of.

The exhaust has since cleared up with a serious in depth carb clean.

I was able to run it pretty hard and everything has seemed to settle in. Also the humidity level finally dropped a few weeks back so the water vapor in the exhaust isn't as visible.
