Finally got my 79HF/Dyno on the road for a maiden run this morning. Sorted out several challanges that are all overcome except for one. The engine had a "rattle" like real loose lifter adjustment. Checked them and were at .005. Seems ok to me at this time. Started pulling the engine apart until I found the noise to be the back side of the cam gear. Hoping someone can tell me what the function is of the spring loaded weight on the back side of the gear. Compression release? And can it be disabled with the engine used on a bike. It just sounds like loose marbles when the engine is running. Hard to believe it should sound like it does.
I appreciate your help and knowledge with this. I tried to search using terms I thought were right but I guess not.
Once I get this dealt with, the bike comes apart and off to the powder coat shop to finalize the build. Certainly learned a lot on this build with all the shared knowledge here.
Thanks, Tom
