Alot of things can effect how much oil drains out. I never measure exactly. Just make sure your bike is level and trust your sightglass.
If you're a 'by the book' kinda guy...C. Otherwise D. The only place I use sealant on valve cover gaskets is at the corners of the 'half...
Two 'not so good' ideas. Why? replacing lifters at valve clearance adjustment - they basically never wear out...the ones you have are nicely...
It seems kinda coincidental this should happen immediately relative to your replacing the thermostat. So...and I'm not 'dissin' your work or...
PG's are kinda like the solid state equivalent of contact breakers...or points. Each is 'keyed' to the crankshaft in a certain position to signal...
Filament looks melted...overcharging glass in bulb is white...leakage and contamination No visible sign of overheating...vibration, wrong or...
I just happen to have a shop manual... .005 inches intake .007 inches exhaust
CT70 with quite some time on it that's running rich and fouling plugs maybe? Usually the culprit is the needle jet/ needle. Unlike the bigger...
Good Job! Sounds like the previous owner ad libbed some carb parts or did some 'drill' bit jetting. I hate it when people do that.
Regarding idle...possibly slow jets clogged from remnants of matter in fuel system? Feather the throttle and slowly apply choke, if it seems to...
Exactly what I was getting at in my earlier post. In cases where the ignition subsystem that controls the fuel pump fails, first the bike begins...
There are no specs for that kind of test. It's useful more for ID'ing if and which carbs are leaking...an immediate feedback kinda thing....
I suggest you figure a plan to troubleshoot the failure next time it happens. Go on a 'troubleshooting' ride.
Before you spend huge amount of time troubleshooting your fuel system, I'd check for spark. That sounds suspiciously like a pulse generator...
It's possible to observe the fuel level externally. Take a section of clear hose that fits on the bottem drain for the carb(s) and curve it up so...
Just for clarity, the little 'bypass' holes are tied into the fuel enrichener. When the plungers are open, extra fuel is supplied on those holes,...
Cool resource. Sometimes different part numbers work, too. Part numbers can be changed for a different color, material, or it seems the 'whim'...
THAT sounds like the perfect candidate for a new thermostat. Something's definitely not right there and that would be the first thing I'd...
Mine has done this also. Mainly when downshifting for a slow 90 degree city intersection when only 'warm' as opposed to 'heat soaked'....
I don't think mixtue screw adjustment could make it run that rich no matter how they're set. bench test...really good idea. If there's a...
Separate names with a comma.
