This is a very helpful tip, which many other videos overlook. Although this information is also noted in the service manual at EM43, the manual doesn’t specifically mention rotating the crank counterclockwise by 40 degrees. In my view, if Cylinder 1 is at TDC on the compression stroke with the valves closed, there’s no risk of valve-to-piston contact. Therefore, it should be safe to rotate Camshaft #2 to the 90-degree position. Am I overlooking something?
@themotofirm23 күн бұрын
The Toyota FSM I used specifically outlines this procedure. If you rotate back 40 degrees, no piston is at TDC. I’m thinking this just makes it safer when rotating the cams to/from timed position especially if you accidentally go past due to the springs pushing on it.

How did you get your carb sooo clean?? I used carb cleaners and still has a little oxidation.
@themotofirmАй бұрын
This carb was already pretty clean. But Napa has a spray, think it’s called aluminum brightener, helps clear up oxidation. Used it one engine cases, should work on the carb body.

Hello, what would you do for a 2007 gsxr 600 that starts and sometimes not? New battery and she was fine a day ago, then after she dont start again, I have an original clutch handle, but even in neutral with kickstand it does not want to start, it engages from time to time but starts just doesn't, or starts, or makes no noise, sorry for my english !

So there is a golden little piece there next to the main jet. Where does that go?
@themotofirm7 ай бұрын
Took a while to figure out what you meant, I assume at 3:32? That is the needle jet, basically a guide for the needle, and makes the hole visible from the inside when you’re lowering the needle down into place. It presses lightly into the carb body from the bowl side, before the main jet and jet holder go in. Countersunk (tapered bore) goes toward the needle. I don’t typically mess with them since they don’t do much and don’t really go bad, but maybe I replaced this one since the kit had it, not sure.
