I finished the fork rebuild. What difference it makes. The 2nd leg wouldn't even drain after I removed the nut and pulled the piston out of the lower leg. There was so much material in there from the deteriorated parts. Now I can use the side stand without the bike tipping over, since it will now sp...

I am going to do a rebuild on my forks. They are not smooth, have sticktion and make springy sounds. When I compress them off the motorcycle, and they spring back, it sounds like the fluid is cavitating. I have one of the forks apart, I have not taken either end off of the damper rod. My Haynes manu...

I need to sync my carbs as well. I was going to try it building a manometer as linked here: http://www.powerchutes.com/manometer.asp I believe my vacuum ports are on the side. I haven't tried to remove the screws yet since it looks like it will be a pain. Is the shaft I have marked here in red part ...

My tank was real bad. I took the tank for my 75/7 to a local guy to clean and paint the inside. That was a couple years ago. I put gas in it a couple weeks ago and there are about 2 dozen bubbles forming on the outside. This is with 1 gallon of gas and letting the tank site and hang in different pos...

The main passage through the idle jet was blocked.

That passage is so tiny, I can't see light shine through it even on the working jet.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

swapped sides with the carbs and it is definitely the carb. I took the idle jet and idle adjustment screw out and made sure they were clean. Blew air into all the passages. I figured out that I had the choke valves turned 180 degrees wrong. Fixed that. Chokes have an affect now. I still have the pro...

Check for a plugged pilot (idle) jet on the right carburetor. It's a tiny passage and it doesn't take much to clog it. Take the jet out to do so. Drop the bowl and use a flat blade screwdriver. Also check the valve clearance. If too tight, they may not seal at low revs but might be adequate at high...

so start off with the basics. compression check. Valve adjustment. Also, I believe the Dyna has separate pickups for each cylinder. When you check the timing, do you get a single image, or is it split. One cylinder might be "3 degrees" out while the other could be much more (not even show...

After many months of rebuilding I started my R75/7 today. The left cylinder seems to work great. The right one not so much. I have to pull up on the throttle cable at the carb, to probably about 1/2 throttle before it will fire. I have rebuilt both carbs. I did not replace the rubber seal on the mai...
