G'Day All,
Been getting everything ready for the big ride.
The Flash has been sitting for 9 weeks waiting for wheel bearings brake linings new tube and time to assemble.
My first ride today was a little concerning! Started in the usual manner but blowing smoke from the right hand pipe
. Smoke increased with revs
In the time it took to fasten my helmet and pull her off the centre stand I had fouled the right hand plug, a quick run up the road and all was well.
I went for a run of around an hour and a half working the engine on hills and varying the revs from idle through to near W.O.T (not quite but close).
Stopped for a coffee and ended up waiting for the rain to stop, total around an hour and a half. Restart no smoke...
I am going to do a compression test on Monday to see if there is a sizeable difference between left and right. Does this sound like rings or glazed bore or valve guides?
As per Musky's recommendation I adjusted my valves before the last ride and found them to be out by .005 for both exhaust and inlet. (too tight)
