I'm working on an illustrated version of the GTV manual based on Patrick Hayes translation. The structure of the bikes and manuals is so similar it might be helpful. I'll send you a copy when finished.
Finally the light bulb came on and I started to think magneto 90% of carb problems are electrical
Nice work. The missing shield story is very similar to the missing oil slinger washer that I found after putting my Alfa motor back together, I chose to take 2 mm of the diameter of the slinger so it could go through the hole for the front oil seal instead of taking the engine completely apart again. Hopefully it won't make a difference if the washer is 50 or 52mm in diameter. Looking forward to follow the rest of your process!
Timing gears and magneto on next. Check the gear mesh.
I don't remember why it's off by a tooth?
Here's a video taken on this morning's test ride (before it started to snow). Idle mix is getting closer...https://youtu.be/7scht3RhwR4
Fantastic! Seems to perform very well! Looks so much like a local ride around here (I'm on Vancouver Island). I'd love to see it in person, some day.Thanks for sharing the journey.Cheers,Shaun
Thanks Shaun.Pretty amazing for only 18.9 horse power! It's a little torque monster but does run out of breath pretty quick above about 60 mph... It should look similar, I'm just the other side of the Salish Sea (do you call it that there?) in Bellingham - big leaf maples, Doug firs, wet roads... Cheers,(another) Shawn
Hi, Shawn.The official name, here, is Strait of Georgia, but Salish Sea is also commonly heard.I'm usually down in your neck of the woods at least once or twice a year. I'd love to stop by and have a look at your slicer when in that area, sometime. In the meantime, I'll continue to watch this thread to get my fix. Cheers,Shaun
Yeah - Let me know! Also our club is putting on a classic motorcycle show and swap April 27 at the Lynden Fairgrounds. Might be a good time to visit.
