    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.

Sorry new filter too, got from Bike Bandit, should be right one. Just lightly oiled and checked last time I had seat off and still looked right. Just took exhust off and couldn't find anything loose or stopping it up. How do I go about check cam timing? terrylee
 
Check the service manual for the cam timing

There are marks on the cams that need to align at TDC
 
It has power!!!

It has power!!!

Guys thanks so much for your help. I took the valve cover off today and checked the cam timing and it was right on. So took off advance mech. since I still couldn't seem to turn it. Sprayed it with more PB and still wouldn't turn, so tried turning it with channel locks, and it finally turned!! Cleaned up some and it now moves easily. Put it all back together, took it for a ride. OMG!! It had so much power I couldn't believe it! Wants to go as fast as you want and more, no problem hitting 70 and beyond in 5th and putting it in 6th gear shows no drop in power! I can't believe we drove this thing with that not working. I would have never figured it out if not for you guys on here! Made my day, week and maybe more! terrylee:D
 
Can't thank you guys enough. Wife has to work late next couple of days, but can't wait for her to get on it. Already warned her to hang on! terrylee
