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.

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.

chuffing at idle?

working on the 80 1100E project bike and steadily fixing issues.

I got it back together and running and at idle there is a very clear and loud enough "chuffing" noise coming from the intake side of #2 cylinder.

my first thought was a leak in the intake boot but the carb cleaner test had no effect on RPM or running so no leak there.

I pulled the cam cover to check for stuck valve and could find nothing wrong, a couple valves were slightly below spec. but none stuck open and a adjustment of all valves has no effect on the chuffing.

this is where it gets confusing.

with cover off and engine cranking over, ignition disabled. the "chuff" noise happens at the point the #2 cylinder intake is coming off the lobe.

first thought is twisted crank but the noise is only coming from #2

???????????:confused:

Have you done a compression check? Almost sounds like a burnt valve. :cry:

I was leaning that way but the fact that the noise happens as the intake valves are closing and it stops when it comes off the lobe throws that off.
 
Well, if you think about it, "when the intake valve is closing" is when the piston is on its way up, compressing the mixture.
There might be a small burned area that happens to get sealed when the valve is completely closed.

Hate to say it, but it might be worth it to pull the head. 8-[
