    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Chef1366,
Thanks for the info on the plugs. Now if I can figure out why it runs on 3 until i get past 1/4 throttle. You guys have fun while I wait for the rain to stop. That might be on Friday.:(

RS carbs go out of sink a lot.
if you have 1 slide down then it will run on 3 till the throttle starts to open and it won't run 100% on all 4 till its wide open.
 
Looks like another trip to see Trippivot. He has the 4bank of vacuum gauges. Thanks for the tip...

Jim, leave the timing the same on all 4 cylinders! Just go 1 size bigger on the inner cylinders due to more heat there. Ray.

Bill was over yesterday; his bike looks real nice. The chrome covers almost make it look like a harley. :rolleyes: The combo looks good for an L. I might have to say something though if he gets leather tassles :eek:.


Anyway we pulled plugs to compare. His bike was running super clean after the 150 mile trip over here. I pulled my pluggs and they looked pretty rich. Turns out mine were 145 and not 147.5 like I thought. Also the needles were already at 3 1/2 from the bottom. We moved them all to 4 1/2 from the bottom and the things still runs well. Will probably pick up some 142.5's and ty and drop down on the outers depending on how it looks.

Seems I have richened up since my temperature has dropped so much from the sprayer and serier R/R. Temp gauge never gets over 210 degF and around here it is usually closer to 180-190 degF MAX.

Also I did not completely drain the oil but still had a 1/2-3/4 quart in when I pulled the stator. I topped it back off and we did about a 20 mile quick ride. OIL STILL LOOKS LIKE HONEY.

Things are starting to seal.
This engine has gobs of torque.
I opened it up last night after I got off the freeway by my house, well all I can say is I was grinning from ear to ear.
 
The 1166 in Chad's bike, with .348 cams & 36 RSs made 140 @ the back wheel with a JUNK head that has stock valves & valve job in it! Bike runs 9.30s @ 146 @ Fontana! Ray.

Chef,

What is your break in procedure. Heat cycles? Below 6000 rpms? Or?

First start up I run it at 3-4k for about ten minutes.
Then I ride it. Not too hard but after 500 miles, the first oil change and valve adjustment look out.
I'm still taking it easy on it.
