Thanks this was perfect I remember that with The indikator Marks from back in 1981 when I did this - I Saw another video where The guy didn’t even had The bolt removed to see The Marks and I thought this is going wrong - so thanks fore confirm i was right 😊

Thank you!

Set the headbolt torque on the 4 rocker arm bolts before adjusting valves. Prevents head gaskets blowing out.

Excellent tip!

Good stuff!

Paint job looks really good. Did you do a video series on it?

[@jeffkinder4995]

Thank you! I just cleaned really well with degreasers, then used wax remover solvent before spraying with light coats of Duplicolor engine enamel

How do you rotate the motor

[@jeffkinder4995]

17mm socket on the crank bolt accessed though front cover. Cover has a 17mm head too. Rotate clockwise from front engine.

Why did u remove your pickup

[@jeffkinder4995]

I replaced the pickups and stator with the Rae-San Hall effect kit and a new stator and coils. My first time doing this so I didn’t know that little mark was on the internal pickup and I would have left it in had I known. Fortunately, the paper cut out solves this issue

Hi Jeff, sure you know what you are doing, but just a bit slow explaining stuff Sir, good luck.😆

O.m.g. can't stand to watch a noob try and teach something...😂

[@jeffkinder4995]

Then don’t. Many people have found this helpful. If KZbin was all professional bike builders it wouldn’t be KZbin. Do you own video if you are a professional. We will all watch it.
