    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1150 Oh no! Off one tooth on cam timing? Pics too.

Yes, I'm stoked to have back on the road. It's got about 450 miles on it now. Motor feels strong, laughing to myself about the old school grunt this thing has.

London, I somehow after my mistake, got the arrow to point in between side plates. I think I was paying to much attention to the picture in the manual regarding pin orientation. Maybe if the crank is rotated 360 with cams out and tension on the cam chain the #1 arrow might point in between side plates?
 
Carter - But the distance between the marker arrow no. 1 and the exhaust marker arrow 2/3 will never change. In my book that would make it impossible to replicate the drawing in the post above.

I have a spare exhaust cam and a cam chain and it has to be impossible to match the drawing as you say in reality there are only 4 chain plates between the markers not 5 as shown in the illustration:

London, I was refering to your #20 post picture 4 of the cam chain pointing through a side plate. One rotation of the crank change where the arrow points?

I looked closely at the picture and it is actually slightly wrong and is really a poor representation. If you count the sprocket teeth (not links or pins) in the diagram between the #1 arrow and the #3 arrow you'll see there are 9 teeth where in actual fact there are 8 teeth.
