Mike - the cam timing was ahead when I got the cover off, so I just left it there. I moved the ignition timing last. I moved it so that the old hole is just visible it seems this is a good place. I would like to put a timing light on and see what it is. If you install the lifters, Does it lengthen the duration of the valves?

Quinton - the lever that the pulleys are hung on, at the point it conects to the engine is slotted. I was trying to leave the bolt just loose enough to allow the lever to move like the hand clutch. Today I put pressure on the assembly and snugged the bolt so that it will not move, it seems so far that this is the best method for this bike.

PS: I moved the needle to the slide down all the way, there was only one notch left. Pulled the baffle out of the muffler and went for a ride. That was all it needed no more fat. I went blazing out in the street and some guy shook his fist at me, I'm loving life. I have the baffle with the gold cover so I just made the holes in the ends larger, put the air filter back on and it still runs like it should. You just barley give it gas and it just purrrrr's and pulls you along. Got a new problem, oil leaking from the lifter box. Looks like the compression rod.
