Finally, i got the rotor off replaced it with the old one and viola - it starts and runs. One thing i noticed, instead of replacing the gasket I tried the silicone gasket maker and when i tighten down the bolts it causes the starter to seize up so I am guessing that i need to get the appropriate gasket to give the right spacing for the gears to turn. One last question I would appreciate any input on. With the bike still on the stand I started it up and tried to go through the gears just to make sure it works before hitting the road and I could go into first and second but not into third. Should I be able to go through the gears with it on the stand - is there any kind of linkage issues I need to check first. Thank you so much for all who have helped me out. I am not a mechanic and it has taken me about 4 months but I can finally see the light. thanks so much

I am trying to replace the rotor and I can't seem to get it loose. Do I need to heat it up or is there a set screw or something. The manual doesn't say anything and I didn't want to put too much torque into it and break something

okay i moved the pick up coils to the new stator cover and now it turns over and I am getting a spark however it is still not starting. I was wondering if the flywheel are different enough that they need to be changed out as well? Are the points on the flywheels different enough or should it start now? I was noticing that the right side plugs are sparking at a different rate of consistency than the left side - any ideas on what that might be? thanks so much

all right I replaced the pick up coils and stator with the 1200 set and now I get nothing as all. It doesn't even turn over. Do i need to pull the rotor from the 1200 as well

I also used the old carbs which I just had completely rebuilt, new diaphram's, slides, the works

I put in a 91 - and you are correct it will not fire - can you tell me why? I believe that is the last thing I have to figure out and fix everything else is ready to go - It is starting to get frustrating - thanks for any help/advice

I changed out the engine because the 1200 lost 2nd, 4th and 5th gear. I have the wiring connected and it turns over but it still won't fire - AWWWW

I am swapping out my 1200 for a 1300 engine and need some help with the wiring differences can anyone help me? thanks
