first remove only the pipe and governor-cover. look into the exhaust and actuate the exhaust valve by hand. it has to be a smooth operating from close to full opening, if you pull on the little governor lever...
if you feel something is wrong, pull the cylinder and lubricate it with wd40 untill it makes a smooth operating of the exhaust valves .
i think the water had dried the oil out there and thats the reason for this problem...
J.ellwanger:
i thought maybe the water might have played a role there. but how much ...pressure? or pull should it take with my fingers, garb it hard and pull, expecting sore fingertips, or should it/they move freely with the fingers. well ill check it tomorrow? and then since you didnt answer my question about gaskets and what not, can they be reused? or just get a new set just because the ones on there are 22yrs old and you have the jug off... think I just answered my own question.
well then ill ask about the smaller gaskets i have read about people using, along with more compresion due to less room, what exactly is the gain from it? and the high compression head?
pros?
cons?
motopunk:
its always good to have a set of gaskets in spare... old gaskets sometimes could be reused, but only, when it is not destroyed by pulling the jug...
if you check the exhaust valves you have to pull the rod and it has to go very smooth in and out ...
my first question is where do you use the bike?? higher compression can shorten the life of the bearings . the engine is harder to start without compression release... better not to much changings if the engine was performing very well...
J.ellwanger:
yes my engine was performing VERY well, so ill leave it alone for now, but the riding i do is mostly trails, the nasty trails,
tight rocky, straight up hill,
with very few track days,
but i did get inside the engine with a boroscope, and have a video for you guys, enjoy :wink:
in through exhaust

so in this video I have a few concerns
13 secs. kips open facing the front of bike on the left side we have the kips, open, and a pinhole at back
then @ 23 secs. in the video I'm not sure of if that's a chunk or port.
then my intake @ 39 secs.
in through spark plug hole

but as far as i can tell my kips valves are opening all the way, by hand, and has smooth operation.just encrusted with carbon. and tried checking other things like my bridges, but had difficulty controlling the camera and where it pointed
