When I rebuilt my engine a few years ago, it also had alot slack. The pump does not need much force to turn so I guess it flops around on the slack side....
And no need of a precise timing as for the camshafts ! ;o)) Happy new year to everyone ! Noël ... From: plaskowski To: VF500F@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
Well, I broke down the bike again, and checked the valves on the rear head and the front. The front was WAY off so I adjusted them, and the rear head was still...
Once the cases are damaged the best option is to start with another engine. Repairing them is possible but expensive and the results are not always the best. ...
Would a dropped valve cause the case damage? I would think it would be more located near the top of the cyl or the head and not the case of the engine....
Absolutely. When the valve drops the piston will pinch it against the head on the next stroke. When that happens the rod often collapses, which is basically...
When I moded the OP drive gear I was concerned about the chain slop so I made a tensioner. The slop does not seem to be an issue with the original setup, but...
Sorry to hear of your misfortune, I listened to the video and it did not sound like a worn cam lobe/follower. I've had three go bad and they make a more...
Ya, The breakdown process should start sunday ( saturday I am removing a transmission from a car ) to see what happened. But I have been talking with Tom Smull...
Greetings Let me just preface this by saying that I'm not going all "look what I can do", so please refrain from any snide or clucking remarks... I have...
Ya definitly modify the petcock, and check to make sure your fuel supply line is as short as possible with no dips in the line. ... -- Thank You, --Robert...
I've run gravity feed for many years now and have not experienced anything like you mention. In fact, there is a section of road that is about 2 miles long...
I am writing to ask the group is there a way to make the reinstalling of the gas hose a little easier- i don`t think my hands are that big? I think a longer...
Pat has always such good and practical (pregmatic) ideas as I (sometimes) do ! One of my mottos : Think "before", because "during" is sometimes too late (not...
Awww, shucks Noel! Stop it, you're makin' me blush! I'm just a simple guy with a low budget making due with what I have. BTDT got the bloody knuckles to show!...

Don't know what process you are referring to, but I'll throw this out there. I've never used a "portable tach", always just went by the dash tach. Most common...
thanx Patrick I should of gave a little history of the bike before stating the actual problem, I bought the bike not running, bought a brand new tank, cleaned...
Samuel, If you have already had the carbs off, definately check the boots. Easiest way is to start the bike and spray some WD-40 around each of the boots. If...
I was also thinking about a (or 2 ... plus ?) worn/torn diaphragm(s). This could prevent the slides from coming fully up, so limiting the revs. Just an idea...
yeah I had did all that plus check the diaphragm except adjust the mixture which I did today and it helped significantly it still hesitates a little a WOT but...
Samuel, If you don't have a shop manual, or at list a "Chilton" manual, you probably want to get one. These are a big help. There is a good article here on...

My Father and I were able to get the old engine out and the new back in in about 5 hours. All in all not to bad. I had to leave the battery charger on last...
