Why didn't you replace the valve oil seals when you had the heads off
@stevenmetzger261311 күн бұрын
A few reasons. First there was nothing wrong with them. Second, the cams looked intimidating. In my quick search I didn’t find anyone else who had done a 1200. Plenty of 1100s but the 1200 has hydrolic tappits. Which are discribed as “virtually maintenance free” and third is that I didn’t know the quality of the seals I had gotten in the kit. I would hate to have replaced perfectly fine gaskets with ones of inferior quality. If something does go wrong with the existing valves I’ll be sure to do some additional research and make a video about it.

I found that you can do this without removing the rear drive. Also I found that its easier to jack the tire up after the shocks are unbolted to slide the axle OVER the exhaust instead of under. But once you take the axle out, there is enough room for the wheel/tire to come out to the left a little and off the drive unit

I am aware, mine has the "fix" completed ( elimination of the clip and the three wires soldered together) on it and I haven't had any problems yet. Im aware of the po-boy alternator, but I ran across a photo of someone who mounted the alternator directly to the cam shaft with it mounted to the front of the valve cover, no pully needed. it looked pretty cool and I would need to do some more research but I think I would go that route if the stator goes out.

If your getting combution out of the carburetors and the timing is on point it is most likely the valves. Before digging too deep it may be wise to insure the pulse generators mounted next to the crank under the valve cover are tightly screwed in.

your right, hes just trying to avoid removing 4 screws and a single plug, by instead bending the exhaust, undoing 4 unrelated screws, not knowing the final drive is a chore to get back in, not to mention bending the exhaust will later down the road be a 2000 dollar problem that could be avoided with 20 minutes of work.

@stevenmetzger26132 ай бұрын
The timing changes you are talking about are not done by advancing the marks. These marks keep the valves from smashing into the piston at light speed. The timing you are looking for is the timing of the ignition which could be done by messing with the pulse generator but I’m completely uneducated in how to do that.

And good gas mileage. I have had about 10 of them about six of them Standards. Once I road a Standard I never went back. I still have two. We have to do our own work because IMHO you sorta can't trust all the shops, if you get my drift. For safety's sake if nothing else we need to do our own maintenance and upkeep.
