I suspect your head is from a 500cc A7 machine; they were put on 650cc engines to get a cheap increase in compression ratio. An A10 inlet tract should be 1...
I've checked the plugs and they are a little black, but I just assumed it was carb related because I havn't adjusted them and I live at about 9,000 ft. It...

After I ride a few miles and shut it off it won't start. I dont know if the kicker is slipping or I'm not getting compression when hot. A guy on another board...
I would check the clearances. They are there to allow for expansion of the components. If they are too small, as the engine heats up, the pushrods will expand...
Gary, Have you checked that the engine is spinning when you kick it over, and that the clutch isn't slipping when its hot? regards Baza ... know ... A...
Nah, It's either a posting on Zenor's, or a Beltdriveman windup, regards Baza ... diRMcZ7UoUkdKQMjOcexpg49qGMeAD2qTAFADCSQfSkWUxkimJk8DB/vHrUzIFU45NIcSn...
Hi. I had the same problem on my bike. I got the carburetter bored and sleeved , and installed a thicker carb. gasket, and it solved the problem with mine....
thanks for all the help guys. I think I have a combination of probems. when hot the carb spits fuel when I tickle it. I havn't checked the valve clearence yet...
thanks this is the most accurate description of whats going on with my bike. I'll have to pull the timing cover when hot and see if the motor is in fact...
John Excuse my ignorance. How does the Growler work ? I acquired one sometime ago but have never seen it used. When you place the armature in the v block and...
Hi Gary Between the carb and the head you will need a tufnol gasket or as the parts book said a Insulating washer . These are the same as the ones as used on ...

... healthy armature do ? ... Hi Kym Growlers can be used to test for (1) shorted coils or (2) open circuit coils or (3) shorts to the shaft. (1) Place the...
Not sure what you mean by 'spitting'. Using the tickler floods the carb, some of which will spit out up the button, which operates directly on the float. A...
My growler has full instructions on it - but basically it enables active testing of each coil in the dynamo armature separately, this is something that cannot...
Sorry to chip in. Don't want to confuse. I agree start with the valve clearances. I'd be a little concerned that it may be getting too hot. Is there any...

Ian and Marty, It's one of those annoying TLA's that keep popping up - like BBW - the sort of thing you think you know what it means but really don't want to...
