hey everybody, i have an 01 660, i just replaced the woodruff key and did a valve adjusment on it, it was done at proper tdc, and i believe the cam timing is good, i know the intake should be from .10 - .15 , i did .13 and exhaust was set at .18, but the thing won't start on it's own, gotta new battery and it seems like it can't push past the compression stroke, but if i pull start it, it starts right up, but idles high, and there's alot of valve chatter, alot more than i remember.. as far as the high idle, i've got the choke shut off, and the idle screw all the way out, it sounds like it's spinning about 3000rpm... it has an hmf exhaust and i just jetted it 150/155.. any ideas would be appreciated.. thanks guys.

 

Are you sure you did not get the timing chain off one tooth??

 

i don't believe so, unless it was off before.. i had problems starting before this adjustment, but it was the usual long start/ tight valve syndrome

 

well they prob on starting could be your starter clutch??? I kinda need some more info.. and im sure i can help you out..

 

and on it idleing high... It could be somthing as easy as its way to rich?? have you messed with the jets at all?

 

Were you at in oklahoma?? if your close enough you could just bring it out to are shop and ill fix it for you...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

the starter/starter clutch were new on it when i bought it last year, so i don't think that's it, as for the crazy idle, i'm sure it's gotta be something stupid, the jets are barely bigger than stock, and like i said, the idle screw and choke aren't putting any extra fuel in there, i wonder if the valves being a bit loose would affect it? just a guess, but i'm in the southeast corner of okc, right next to draper lake, what would you charge to look at it? thanks for all the help, really appreciate it!

 

We dont charge anything to work on them...We just do it for fun on the weekends...Your valve shound have nuttin to do with the way that its idleing...Im going to have to think about this one for a little LOL...Yeah if you think you may wanna come down some weekend.. I would be happy to look at it for ya..And if you look in my pics.. you can see there is plenty of toys in the shop to keep you busy when were working on it...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

driver doyle will fix the problem, but because he is so good it costs a lot of money for him to fix, so he will just take the bike from u as pay [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
