  3. Xen I'd check the timing, especially if you have contact ignition (also check the contacts for pitting) you really need a xenon strobe lamp so it can be done when running. swapping over the coils also swapped the timming if you didn't swap over the feed wires. that will mean they will fire with the pistons at BDC. also sounds initailly like you have carb issues as, if you cleaned them properly, you would'nt get any crud in the mains. do you have an inline filter between tank and carbs? its poss that the tank is rusty inside, this will also affect the petcock. drewps

    impact usually does it with the correct head on try pliers with the serated part over the head. it'll ruin the screws, but their screwed anyways!

    Steve good news, there are plenty of peeps into rd's and theres' plenty of spares and advice( also try http://www.aircooledrdclub.co.uk/forum/ ) the bad news is it always costs 3 times the initial budget you set. drewps

    so you looked inside and all there was, was a hole? yep you need those screws, I'd pull the carbs first and checked the screw's tips wer'nt snappped off in de hole!

    I liked it when he got his weener out
  18. there's 2 indents in the rod which are held by ball and spring to hold choke in two positions. the chokes themselves are just brass tubes which slide in a cylinder with a rubber seal on the end. check the screws holding the "fingers" to the rod are secure and not sqiffy causing the jam (or marlalade) drewps

    its on the right side and you have to take off the clutch cover!(after draining the oil)

    i got a pair of the DOHC carbs and they are recessed inside the "yellow" in the diagrame. It could be that there is also a thin plate across it to stop peeps fiddling, just needs to puncture it with a nail and lift it out.

    4k revs is where the pilot system is taken over by the mains. look at the carbs first
  23. they can be, but it really is a specialist job http://www.guagerepairs.com you need to find a way of bending the rim back and more importantly, some sort of wooden plug to bend them back neatly drewps
  24. drewpy replied to bswinn's post in a topic in Classics
    can't touch this....... 1) the carbs are 34mm, you didn't read properly did you!! 2) don't overtighten the intake boots onto the cyl head as they can bow leading to air leaks, use the correct torque 3) try enrichening each pilot mixture screw ANTICLOCKWISE say another 1 to 2 turns and see what happens 4) I inadvertantly forgot to tighten the intake jubille clip on carb to intake which sucked in air, i blame OG for that one! 5) try spraying wd40 or such arounf the intakes, any change in engine revs indicates an air leak 6) float height is 26mm NOT 32mm as per haynes
