Over last winter I replaced a broken timing chain. Also put on a used head from eBay because the rocker arms were broken when the chain snapped.
I adjusted the valves when I put everything back together. Adjusted them again this summer when the bike became difficult to start. Maybe 3000 miles??
Adjusted them again about a month later when the bike became difficult to start again. Maybe 1000 miles ??
Adjusted them again 8 days later when the bike became very difficult to start after 500 miles which includes a long 250 mile ride to higher elevations.
Only the intake valves get tight. The exhaust side has stayed the same throughout. This part has me stumped.
I use emgo pod filters and my exhaust is drilled out. I have tweaked on the jetting and mixture numerous numerous times and feel that it is close but not perfect.
This has never been a lock nut issue. I've checked and rechecked. They are always tight.
I'm confused.
