im in Hereford mate. I am gonna start with taking the sump off first and hope to god it is lying in the bottom of there otherwise its engine out and a full rebuild sh1t sake

oh wombles the worst that could of happened has happened I sorted the timing issue out went to put it back together and dropped the bolt out of the cam chain cover down the engine wombles great I now will be taking the engine out tomorrow after spending the whole day trying to find the bolt with no ...

I will be doing the work on my bike today so will let you all know the outcome.

Never to run again i expect

ok im pretty much starting to understand but is there an actual way to check that it is out 180
is it by looking at were the cams are? or is there no way of telling and you just hope for the best and turn the crank 360

nope because i replaced the ccts with manuals and done it without even touching the timing plus its done this since i bought the bike.

It'll pop and bang a bit and sounds weird (really lumpy). It'll accelerate as normal (ish) for a while but 7k it'll just stop revving like it's given up then slowly climb from there.

How do they become 180 out surely its by someone putting it out?

just dont see how its become 180 out although it has always done it since i have had it. and it feels like a bit of a og down a 7 or just after 7 and then revs through but not in a couple or a few bursts if that makes any sense and between say 9000 rpm to the limiter it is perfect

how would that work?

whats your email addy mate dont think i can pm any users yet on here

I put a post up last summer about my bike not reving past 7000rpm and was sounding like the problem was that timing is out 180 degrees.. However I have just had the bike back out today and I would now say the symptoms are different as I have now tried taking the bike past 7000rpm and it does go thro...

It's a bit more than I want to pay but thanks anyway
