Sprayed mist of fuel into the top of the carb, no joy. Here is a pic of what I am mesuring at 7 ohms on a digital meter.

Measre this as well, Gives between 115 ohms both sides, turn it over and it changes each time but stays same both sides between 105 ohms and 115ohms.
When I first messured it the gear side gave 130 ohms and the rear brake side gave somthing stupidy high. Untangeled the wires and it gives constant now both sides at 105 ohms but still not heatingup that front pipe out of the header or running on the front on it own on idle.

OK Craig your first two black things are the ignition coils, across those two terminals you are checking the primary resistance, slightly high, but not enough to be your problem. The last pic are the wires that come from the pickup coils, they look in spec also.

So the misting of fuel has it been tried yet??

Just remembered, did you say at Mallory you had a belt jump? If so compression check is needed and check those belt timings again.

Thanks again Phil, Yea I did try the misting in that I was spraying fuel into the top of the carb, and yea I had it slip a tooth at Mallory.
Ok its now at a point where its beyond me to continue as I dont have a compression gauge or how to use one.

I'll have to call my mechanic( Skids ) after Snett.

Thanks for your help Phil.

See you at Pembry hopefully

Craig

Craig we also disturbed the inlet manifold at Mallory when getting ready to take the cylinder head off, before I noticed the timing was a tooth out, so it could have an air leak, if so it would effect the fueling.

In the mean time I had better did out my compression checker (normally use a leak down check these days) I could pop over late tomorrow afternoon / early tomorrow evening with it if thats any help

The SAGA part lost count::::::::

Ok so its not the fecking pick-up coils. Replaced them, re did the timing fired it up, same F&%k C%$££ &**** Arghhhhhhhh

Right front head off.....



Ahhhh that could be the problem, makes sence as its by the fuel valve and it would'nt tick over on that pot but would go with revs.



Anyway Bradders has lent me his head, but I need to swap over the pulley from my old one to the spare head. I have'nt got the tool to undo centre bolt ??

Old Head:





Spare Head:



Sod it I'll take it to my local (Probike) and get them to swap it over for me.

Here is the spare kindly lent by Bradders that will go on in its place. Looking much healther than mine.



Kev (Skids ) dose this look like the cause of the problem I was having ???

So fingers crossed this time I might have a working pot by tomorrow afternoon.

I've got to be ahead of you now Bradders on the take it appart and guess & learn front.

If not I'm setting fire to the fecking thing.

Craig

Craig, well done on getting stuck into it. The erosion on your head could be going down under the valve seat, but your pic shows it above. Also your compression test tended to negate this kind of issue.

I notice you have adjustable cam wheels, are you sure that the 3 Allen fasteners are tight and the cam hasn't moved in relation to the pulley?

As at Mallory you said the belt had jumped a tooth but the belt was tight.

Just a thought to explore.
