Hey,

Yes I did notice that and downloaded it earlier, it is a huge help with identifying parts and assemblies on the bike, however lacks solutions and is missing details for certain situations.

So the bike finally idles, I had replaced the cover to the pulse generator and therefore needed to re time the ignition, I also re adjusted all my pilot screws in the carbs back to factory, and slightly increased the throttle, now it starts with no assistance. Does anyone have a good suggestion for getting the bottom rear lock nut for the timing chain? I think I can loosen it via an open wrench, but I don't feel that I will be able to tighten it properly with such cramped space.

I haven't ridden in awhile, but how long should it take around 3,000 RPM's to get too hot to touch? I have an uneasy feeling that my bike is heating up way to quick now, and this morning a good amount of smoke slowly started appear as I was tensioning the timing chain..I was only able to get the front and top rear adjusted before I shut off the bike due to the amount of smoke. Part of me is hoping that I have an insignificant oil leak somewhere causing this qualitative problem, but I never find an oil stain under the bike.

Thanks,
