how to i check the power valves
sandblaster:
Yes I do.
I exchange parts for cash or K5 knowledge 8-)
alexander-vmann:
i did the magnet test, and i think its a sleeve, it seems to have some wear on the wall, could this be fixed by a ligth hone?
alexander-vmann:
got the parts in the mail today, so i tried assembeling the valves, but i havent got the timing rigth, both the short teeht's on the valves are int the marked groves on the valve rod, but one is open when the other is closed :?, and my clymer manual doesnt cover the timing on the 86-88 head :|
alexander-vmann:
tried timing the valves today, they're open at the same time but one closes more then the other :?
closed
open
alexander-vmann:
small update today, i put the cylinder back on and head with the new gaskets, i did have a little dum dum when i first put on the cylinder 1/4 way and realised that the bottom gasket was missing :roll: . then i installed all the new radiator hoses, so tommorrow i will try to put in the reed cage with the new boyesen dual stage reeds (should be innteresting to see how they work) and finally change the float needle in the carburetor wich i have been meaning to do for 6 months now, and maybe if things go well i'll be able to try and fire it up
-sorry me ingish
