    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

So there is the video of me trying to start the bike after re-assembling it.
I am not sure if you can tell but it sounds like it wants to start.
What I have:
I have spark at all cylinders.
I have fuel, Maybe too much. (never touched mix screws, don't know where they are.)
I have air too.
Those 3 things present are nice.
I get some backfire occasionally when starting.
The carbs have been rebuilt.
I did have an issue with the cam gear jumping the chain and I reset it to factory specs. Exactly. I went over the book and this site multiple times to get it right.
It seems like a timing issue though, it is an electronic ignition I haven't worked with.

Any thoughts?
 
You didn't "rebuild" the carbs if you don't even know where the mixture screws are set. Honestly, unless you do the job properly you are just guessing. My signature has a thread, and a carb rebuild tutorial, you should check out.

BTW, your bike is not a 1979 unless someone changed the engine

Bike is turning over pretty easily.
I'd check the compression.
Do a poor man version and put your finger over the spark plug hole and see if it pops your finger off of it.
If you do try putting the crank trigger on the advance 180 degrees different then you have it now.
