36 hp 250 with a dodgy tune
Thought I would post a thread for anyone who's wondering how things are going.
They say a picture is worth a thousands words. Need I say anymore. Yes catastrophe was avoided. Damage was 80 bucks.... I had spare valves. I have CR carbs and aftermarket camshafts going in next week for another dyno run in 2 weeks. I will post results of the run. Carbs are not tuned because CR's are going on next week. The stock carbs are sh**. This dyno run is with Stock carbs, stock cams and stock ignition timing. Compression has been fixed. 190 p.s.i on both cylinders. |

Glad you got working.
Will you break 40 with a tune?

That's good power. You will love the CR carbs.
How did the valve bend?

Hey...
Do you have a root cause? I am tearing mine apart this winter to diagnose the compression issue. I will be checking the valves as well. I expect that I can make 40 hp when I know everything is tight. I just wanted to ride after 8 months of work. |

If you do get the CR carbs, please let me know if it helps the power/tune. Mine idles like ^%#*% and the high RPM/low throttle movements are horrible. For those who would like to solve this....I have tried and the tuner has spent SOME time on it as well with the same results.
Besides, I posted a thread about the "ultimate" tune, for that I need to get them right? I won't get them till over the winter if I do, but @Racer x I will have lots of questions Otherwise, @tubarney it may be a good idea to merge this with the thread you and I were oringinally working with. Less clutter and resolution, or at least some data until the next update. |

Hope so.
The carbs, beet cams and brt are going on next week. I will have carbs in a couple of days now. Ordered them 30th August and there in stock at Keihin Japan. I forgot to double check timing after tensioner install, I cranked it around with a wrench prior to starting, pistons and valves hit. I fixed the timing and started it. It idled for 30 secs fine then starting ticking. I killed it and pulled it apart to find a valve seal where the shim should be, a chipped shim on top of the spring, 4 bent intake valves, 1 valve being held in by 1 collet!!!!!!!!!!. I was extremely lucky. A few more secs and it was game over. |

What was the outcome of your piston and cylinder issue?
