mounting a degree wheel

Way to go Gearhead! I have a question though. Why could you not put the cam timing where you wanted? Ray.

The slot I made in the sproket wasn't long enough. I might have been able to move it over a tooth, but i was WAY tired and 1.25 deg wasnt worth it.
I was too tired to even take a test drive til the next day.

I had an idea that was why. Ray.

I think the exhaust was way off because of how much i had to adjust it. It idles a lot quieter now. I wanted to check the numbers before i installed the slotted sprockets, but I knew there wasn't enough time.

Good post. Nice looking bike! Great results. You did it right when you get more power and smoothness everywhere. Which loctite did you use on the sprocket bolts? Did you add washers there?

Ya, i bought the bigger wheel, cost more but the little one was just too little, it cost more than the dial and mag mount together
I would like to/should have taken more pics, sorry.

Good job!
It's alot easier with two people and the degree wheel mounted on the ignition side.
One wheel watcher and one engine turner/dial indicator watcher.

Yes, that would be good, unless the only helpers are drunk neighbours and my clueless wife

Thanks.
I used red loctite, didnt have to use washers, the slots weren't too wide.
