So what was the reason for the black spark plug and that the engine was not reving more than 3.000 rpm ?
After checking the camshaft timing I fittet the camshaft drive tensioner correctly and made a compression test.
Result is the same for both sides and very satisfying.
Ok, only the carbs are left.
Well, hmmm, my fault !
I haven’t fixed the main jets and the one at right hand side fell off into the bowl.
The other main jet was loose as well.
After fixing all that I had a short, but nice test run “round the house” for approx 5 km / 3 miles.
Engine is working fine, brakes as well.
Front fork is tight as far as I can tell from this short test ride and is working as sensible as we love it. Rear shocks from Hagon are stiff and a bit to short.
It is hard to move the bike onto the main stand.
Finally Maria’s LTD and my Lofoti had their first common photoshooting.
A nice couple at Valentine’s Day 😉
Will carry on and post the progress.
Cheers, Michael
