Other pickup coils from mid-80's Sabres or Magna might work if they have the same resistance. Alot of heat-related electrical problems are...
:biggrin-new::eek-new::lemo:
It's not only the cam lobes you need to fret about, as the camshaft bearings may turn blue or severly grooved if run with dirty oil, insufficient...
Sorry !!!! No one understand and feels your recent crashing emotions and injuries more than i. Seven hours waiting in an ER for knee-treatment...
Not good news. Same happened to my '86 700; OK for first 15 -20 minutes until engine reached op temp then quits, and it was pulse coil problem !!...
Fixing the carbs may have over-stressed the engine. Mechanical knocking, if any, usually spells disaster. Speedometer cable makes a whirrrrring...
[ATTACH] Solder the yellow wires to each other across the burned plug. First measure the resistances between the wires and to ground.
A misfiring cylinder isn't likely to make that noise ! :disturbed: I'm with tinkerbelle: rod bearing.
:welcome: Any noises are a concern, loud sounds most especially. As a first post from a disappointed and confused VF500 rider, this one...
Great lead. ^^^^^ If you're serious, Mike, there's a very fine example !
I believe the lasting reputation of these bikes will be based upon the well-developed r/w/b '86 VFR700/750, not the earlier VF series. Alloy...
Yeah, like surfing: just a board and the sea.
There are electrical tests for the stator which don't require rotor removal. If you smell burned stuff it's obviously shot. Did you test running...
Maybe you need a simpler hobby as you may be over-thinking this one. :disturbed:
Sherlock could be on to this 'ere problem 'ere, he could !
[ATTACH][ATTACH] AS Norm suggests, you'd best solder the wires (stator to RR) or eventually the connecting plug will turn into the above !!
Old lines feel like squeezing a balloon, while steel lines feel like squeezing a brick. IMO clutch lines don't need steel.
I know that front fenders on gen2s are PP. :pig:
^^ Fishing line is useless for cleaning carbs. Steel wire only !
You checked the fuse for that circuit first, right ? :numbness:
