    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.

Checked the valves, strange result

I pulled the valve cover off primarily to replace the washers under the bolts as they were leaking.
I checked the valves while I had the cover off and found they were all spec. They were all a snug 5 thousandths.
Here is the rub, after I got it all put back together, and I swear I didn't touch anything else while I had it apart, it idles lower than before, under 1000rpm when before it was 1000 or a little above.
What did I possible do?:(
 
Maybe you dislodged the vacuum line to the petcock?

Check all the spark plug boots and wires to make sure everything's snug.

Maybe you inadvertently moved the throttle or choke cable a bit?

That's all I can think of for now... this sort of thing has happened to me several times with cars, and it's usually a vacuum connection I bumped or forgot to hook back up.
 
Did you reconnect the crankcase breather tube to the breather cover on the top of the valve cover?
 
Wires back on the coils, and connected to the plugs, fires on all four. Breather tube hooked back up to the top of the cover. vacuum and fuel line hooked back up, didn't change anything else. still has me confused, thought i had damaced the coils taking them off, but it wouldn't explain the difference in idle and it fires on all four.
