Re: Project "walrus" Yam XS 750 OK had a chat with a good friend in Germany and he advised me to make the same video with the bike not standing on the sidestand. The bike is ready for the season. I want to build next an aluminium plenum for the carburetors with a integrated oil catch...

Here is a little video of the first test ride. I'm really happy with the result. Since I cannot hear the cam chain anymore there is a different noise that I cannot locate. The primary chain is also new and doesn't hit the inside of the cases. Do you guys can identify this noise? You can hear it...

Success!!! After a long long day of bringing my welder from the basement to the ground floor then welding a dot on the crank and mounting the camchain the machine runs very well and starts easily. I used some stainless wire and welded a dot onto the crank. All electrical parts were...

Had a successful Frist wrench with a biiiiig fail on the end. Successfully replaced all the cam chain sliders, the old ones were nicely worn so I'm happy that I did this. Put everything back together. Put the sidecober of the ignition side back on and turned the engine over and boom the crank...

Re: Project "walrus" Yam XS 750 Parts have finally arrived now I can do the repair as its supposed to be done!!! A little confused here:does the camshaft tensioner adjustment screws go in or out of the motor? I think it's not mounted right at the moment... Gesendet von meinem...

Re: Honda "l'arancio dolce" CB 750 Resto-Mod Project I need to check too if the cam is lubed properly. There is definitely coming oil to the head but I will check more next time I start the bike up again. Still stoked that the bike ran on the 2 bad old fouled plugs... When I know that...

Amazing fab skills! Do you TIG or Gas weld youre alu work?

I will do the fuel level for sure thanks teazer! I call that a success! The bike runs even for now just with a screwdriver :) Put the carbs back on and tried it. The bike holds no idle runs only on choke and needs to get revved up so I guess I will need to check the small jet system in the...

So guys I´m basically waiting for the parts to arrive.I will replace all the sliding parts of the cam chain assembly and thats whats stopping me at the moment. I decided to use a hammer and the help of a good friend to "rivet" the new chain,its not the first time he has done it this way and if...

Again success! I did all what you guys said...Took the carbs off and polished the needle seat with some tooth paste and q tips.Then I checked on the cylinder 1-4 brass pipes and YES, number one has at least 5 holes in it.The needles were sticking to because I tried filling the bowl with gas...

So just pulled one of the carb bowls. Looks like there are tiny holes in the brass pipes. Is this supposed to be down there? These brass tubes are supposed to be without any holes till the top to work as an overflow aren't they? I will fill the chambers with fuel and pump some air from the...

Re: Honda "l'arancio dolce" CB 750 Resto-Mod Project Put in the work.. Popped in the carbs and boom the bike ran for a few strokes! Carbs were losing gas over the brass pipes on 1 and 4 and no gas in them so I guess I swapped float chamber 1 and 4...or do you guys have another idea...

GOOD PROGRESS ON THE CB! 8) Invested some more time and now I have spark on all 4cylinders! Cleaned the points,regapped one of them (it wasnt not closing properly) mounted new plug boots on 2 of 4 cylinders. and boom! we have spark! Here I have a question: Is it possible to remove the spark...

Re: Honda "l'arancio dolce" CB 750 Resto-Mod Project More progress on the Honda. Cleaned out the oil sump yesterday after letting it sit in diesel.Drained all the remaining old oil from the oil tank. Slow but good progress. The fine dust on the oil pump grid turned out to be rubber...

Re: Project "walrus" Yam XS 750 Had a long wrench session yesterday but wasn't able to finish the job. I removed all pieces and checked the timing. The camguides are worn so I need to order them as well hope they come during the next week. The cam timing is slightly off already. I...

keep up the good work...interesting base for a project!
