Humm anyone?

Well I am back :duh: The bike is running very good (new starter). Last night I went to take it for a ride and get some gas and I went to start it and whack! Then I tried again and she fired right up. I am starting to think its hydrolock but I am not sure. I have a few questions and wondering if anyo...

Continuing on: Ok, so I have a new starter and put a set of freshly rebuilt (including float height and mix settings) carbs on that are jetted for the exhaust and intake. I fully synchronized them as well. I have two sets one is my back up and the set that are on are my primary. We have terrible fue...

Well I still have em...my balls anyway :yikes: The Whack is gone as far as I can tell with my new starter (the old one I think was fine as it did jump all over the floor with no rattle). There is a significant rattle during fire up. I don't seem to recall so much in the past so I don't think its "me...

OK did a little more work today. I think the problem maybe the starter but not sure. I checked out the starter gears under the peanut cover. Looks good bearings are good. Also took off the clutch cover and inspected all the gears and looked for anything unusual. The assembly moves OK but the starter...

To be honest with you I did read the post then forgot getting senile......Plugs are out, oil and covers still on. Have not taken off the right and left case covers not sure which ones I need to remove and what to look for.

Hi M, Thanks for the reply really stuck on this one......Well not really I don't want to put the bike through that again as it sounds like enough force to bend a rod. Also it does not do it every time. But what is sounds like is just as I said. As the bike is turned over and before it fires up it go...

Hey guys looking again for some advice related to my last post. "Whack" I do believe. Problem description: Upon cold start, the bike turned and when Whack ...and turned no further. Its a violent sound and one that sounds like a lot of #$%$%^ time and $. Added information: 1. Just put a newly rebuild...

Hi Don, thank you for the inputs. Those are good area's for me to look into. One piece of information I left out was that I just added a rebuilt set of carbs and I don't turn off the fuel petcock. So Fuel Hydrolock is very possible. I never thought of this being such a violent symptom but it appears...

Started the bike up and heard a WHACK! No start. The WHACK stopped the rotation dead in its tracks. Second start ok no problem ran great. Next cold start the following day WHACK! Got it running and idled fine but decided not to ride it to work in fear of getting stranded since I dont know what the p...

Thank you guy's for your inputs.

Thanks for taking the time to respond bones/KC I saw that thread...rather old. Looking for a solid replacement that is plug and play. i have no problems and don't want to create one trying to fix what isn't broke .....learned that lesson well. But the number of people that have had issues is a lot a...

Hi I still have the stock regulator. Looking for an updated link to using an alternative that is as close to plug and play as possible. I know this subject has been beaten to death.
