So I moved on to clearances.

only got this far ran out of time, wanted to measure the shims but the cam chain tensioner was been stupid need to make a key or something.

anyway the results are below.

Well this may explain some of it. All but one Intake are out of spec. The last one is 0...lol

Only the last one on exhaust is out.

Also redid compression tests. So currently my efforts on fixing the cylinder are not looking so good thus far.
cylinder 1 and 4 have gone up.

Just found out its not stock needles jets. Im guessing Dyno stage 1. This may explain a few things with fuel mixture.

Just hook the seat under the tank and squash the rear corner of the seat forward to get the bolts in. good work getting it running.

[Deathoctimus]

Oh really lol sounds simple enough..

Cylinder 3 is only half compression. Look back and you will see why. Good ear through.

Ah. I assumed you must have sorted that to put the bike back together. Are you going to take the engine back out and apart?

[Deathoctimus]

The only thing you could do is full re bores and over sized pistons. I don't feel it is worth it for its age plus the fact you can't remove the cyclider head without breaking the case.

So, you're going to run it like that? Is that sustainable? Genuine question. I'd have thought that it would be down on power, run like a dog, vibrate, and probably deteriorate?

[Deathoctimus]

I've pondered the question I don't have the info to answer it and I can only hope.

Well it turned over right away today but, sounded horrid and died again I can only imagine the mixture is incorrect. This also I think was combined with a piston slap. I didn't warm it up to find out if the sound went away.

It's your bike sir so do with it as you see fit, but running it with compression loss that bad isn't a good idea. Plus you won't be getting the full 'Blade experience if she's down on ponies!

[Deathoctimus]

All done

Got the mixture right right its sounds okay now, new tires, new fuel tap as it was leaking. MOT passed etc.

Huge thanks for all the help and support!

only need to tidy a few places and give it a good wash and polish.
