I removed the valve cover, scraped the gaskets (AGAIN) got it all cleaned up and then Tom showed me how to take out the shims and gauge them. Since I had lapped the valves, almost all of them were 2 or 3 sizes smaller. I thought I was going to have to buy all new shims... Fortunately for me, Kody had just the ones that I needed. I was a little frustrated at first since he only had 2 of the 2.45 mm shims and I thought they would all be that. Well, they weren't.
I will be going back at it at 8 am as it is 3am right now and putting the valve cover back on, let that sit a bit, wire up the tail lights and turn signals, bleed the brakes, fill the fork tubes with Fork Oil and putting the mirrors back on since the ones that I got were from a Yamaha... (Reverse threadding on the right side..)
I don't have any photos from tonight but they wouldn't look much different from the ones below as it would have once again been the top off of the motor...
Last night, from 5:30 to 6:30 I re-built the carbs with all new needles, jets, filter thingy's that the needls go into and these little rubber washer thinga-ma-hoo's.
THEY DON'T OVERFLOW anymore. That is a good thing. Another problem solved. We may start this thing up tomorrow, if so, I won't be posting for a bit. Could take awhile before the gas runs out....
Wish me luck...... I need all that I can get.
