I guess "idles better than ever" and "runs fine " are subjective statements. There is definitely something wrong with the advance mechanism in your beancan. Maybe you should look for a used beancan. Yep. I will try to find a good deal on points in a can, ditch the original wirin...

Replaced the HES and got it running, idles better than ever. Can get timing adjusted to Z no problem, but it won't show an S when back to idle, not anywhere close. Runs fine, so I'm not going to do anything about it just yet.

PS, I would check that the "bean can" is correctly assembled. I replaced it with a fully electronic system. Checked that a few times already. I have a theory that the HES was replaced in the past with a wrong type which has much longer rise and fall times. A few weeks ago when the bike st...

Tried to go for a test ride, didn't get far. Once it warmed it started stalling and similar symptoms occurred as it had before, will start easily but dies instantly.

I'm suspecting Hall effect sensor now. Wish I had a points ignition, would've been riding the whole summer.

Got it running, still have to turn the beancan fully clockwise and timing is still slightly retarded, both at F and S. Runs really well and with much less noise.

Well, now I don't have to worry about the camchain.

Had to buy a new puller as well to get that sprocket off, it's good to have tools so no harm done there. https://www.dropbox.com/s/84asi2vc0rst2ob/2018-08-15%2022.10.18.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/i596wwpdj05tpzg/2018-08-15%2023.12.29.jpg?dl=0 Tomorrow I'll put the cover back on, shim the roc...

The chain had the master link on the back, wonder if it's original chain.

2-3mm difference at full length.

That crankshaft sprocket is quite tight fit, have to go and buy a gas torch to get it off.

This was too easy. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8nnz5mqwxujzqw1/2018-08-03%2013.37.48.jpg?dl=0 And yes, I know that’s an incorrect way to remove a bearing. This needs to be replaced, too much play. I also need a new rotor bolt, someone has stripped the hex on that... https://www.dropbox.com/s/nupbwdpix...

Motorcycles are toys for most people in Finland too, but I don't need to transport large items too often, so instead of a boring car I'd rather have a motorcycle and preferably one with a character; like the Beemer, which is a few months older than I am. I had a Suzuki Savage before the Airhead, bou...

GSPD said: ”Just wodering, Does your timing light have an advance/retard function?. These were used back in the day for setting the timing on some older vehicles that only had TDC mark on the harmonic balancer.” No, it’s a cheap Powerspark branded light I bought about 7 years ago. Well, I'll check t...
