The decomp was supposed to be "rebuilt". However that works. Unfamiliar with them. I'm not sure how I'd be able to check it with pics. I completely tore down the head and took it all apart. Cleaned up some as the job was fairly well done before but had some dirt specs that got on p...

Here is a pic of the flywheel when put on it. I don't have the stator on in the photo but this is when the crank/piston at TDC and the cams setup as per the pics in the manual.

All the teeth match up perfectly with how the pics show and the explanations above. The shims are 265 intake a 255 exhaust. According to manual they should each go down 5. Where can I get these? I have a bunch of shims for other bikes, but none are right diameter. Same as other bikes/quads or availa...

Ok, thanks 27. What do you mean by counting teeth from center though? Probably sounding dumb but want to get this right.

First off, I'm not motor builder. I've had my Dale since early 09 and it hasn't ran. Brand new rebuilt engine but no go. After countless advise that timing was off, I dropped motor yesterday and tore into it with the updated manual I downloaded. The dots on the cams lined up perfectly wh...

Been awhile but believe it was from taking off the cylinder and top end where the piston is exposed on the rod.

Currently taking it off the market. Appears I can't get even remotely enough money back to justify the sale over what I paid. When I get a new house and place to work on it I plan on trying to find someone again to come help work on it. It's depressing when you're gonna take this big of ...
