Something else to look at: the shaft going from the shifter to the shifting shaft that goes through the engine should be straight, it might be bent fro somebody trying to force a shift.

Lay the tool on the square part of the cam shaft, rotate the engine so that the tool turns to the outside of the head tail first. Carefully rotate and watch that the edges on the tool catch the buckets on both valves nice and square. Rotate until you feel a stopping/increase of resistance. Shims should now be available for removal. Use a pick or small screwdriver to pop them up and use a magnet to lift them out. You will have to do a test and reset to get the tool in the right position for all this to happen properly.

Nah,, those are p breaks for the old guy, if it were for ice-cream stands it would be for me. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and a few more that I might have missed ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Nah,,,, probably won't kill them, but they might want be more careful at your place next time.

That's not the question, anybody can find a map and directions,,,, question is, how good are you at following directions? Never mind, I'll ask Marita.

Been a lot going on lately, what were we talking about?

All I can is WOW. and glad you could visit and have a good time.

Now yah done it!! Best get rid of that comment before the Bum gets to see it. He'll lay you straight before you get to lay,,, well when he gets better that is.

You really don't want to make fun of us, 'specially' if there be 2 of us. Best for you to make fun of us when we're not 'looking', that way it's more safer for y'all y'all

Iffn Bum goes, maybe I can go as well. Something to plan for!

They only has 2 wheels!! How do you keeps them up straight? Nice scooters, but I can read your comments.

So you are saying that after a hurricane even a cloudy day seems like a ray of sunshine?

Just bring it over here, you keep Marca busy with your stories and I'll get the coffee.

Nothing beats a good set of properly made pegs.

Check the readings between the positive post and the negative post, then keep your one lead on the negative post and move the positive to the clamp on the post, if that reads well, move down the system with your positive lead, keeping the negative on the negative post.

Can somebody speak up, I might be getting hard of hearing,,,, I know Bum, hearing is not the same as speaking, so there!!!

I will second that motion, may he be blessed for what and how he does things. Thanks @Squidley

He's got the whole world in His hands, and that includes you as well. Spend the time you have with Him, and soon enough our prayers will be answered. May He bless you and keep you, and make His face shine upon you and give you peace.

Right now I have an 02 wing in my shop for that reason. There's good reason for a business to refuse older bikes, I might get into that later sometime.

Wonderful, was hoping you would get to do that soon. Keep the rubber side down bro.

You may be that for now, enjoy it while you can. But giving in to your peers is all that @saddlebum wanted to hear. Now you went and made his day!!

Just thinking out loud here. Sounds to me like that power plant may only be running on 2 or maybe 3. Way to much shaking going on. Never mind that you had only a few bubbles, there should not be any of those,,, after all, it's not the bath for the missus is it? If I am right on it not running on all four, then why isn't it? Could be that 1 cylinder is out and not combusting, but also leaking into the coolant. If it's not combusting, there wouldn't be any combusting gases to test for. Maybe pull the plugs and see what they look like, and do a compression or leakdown test.

Always wondered how that was all put together and what made it tick. Now I still don't know, but glad you have it under control.
