finaly she came to live today   8-)

couldn't get more then some flames out off the exhaust, so started thincking the ignition timing was wrong, allthough set like in the owner's manual.
made a tool so I could spin the cranck with an electrical drill and with the stroboscope it was clear she fired too late . gave her a lot more advance and she fired up  8-)

from 30sec's on, you can see a special anti-wheely-device apparently build into the engine , didn't know off that, first time I've seen it ...  :-D

so just checked if the woodruff key was still ok - it was - and only then I saw these ignition-marks (I thought it had to align with the mark on the cases)



with which one it is supposed to align ?

funny  , maybe you need a bit more preload on forks to compensate for lighter engine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YogBS5Er3Lg  would like to know how  2 exhaust silencers will have on the power??

I don't know, and it's not my main concern at the moment. Power will already be a bit down with the cut-and-re-welded expansion. I made the twin silencers to try and keep the noise down  :wink:
