Thanks! I'll make sure I get those O rings. I did smell a little whiff of antifreeze every so often!

ALRIGHT! A ray of hope! I'll pull the head and hope for the best!!! Thanks again!

Well, thanks for the help.. My worst fears are realized. No compression on the left side. Looks like I have a big decision to make. Anyone know what kind of job it is to rebuild it?

THANK YOU!!!

Thanks! I'm trying to find the how to by Roady.

The belt was stripped. It was missing a little when I parked it, but the next day it would barely run...

My '83 GL1100 jumped time on me an obviously ran like crap, (but actually ran, barely). I brought it around to TDC and the right side is dead on, but the left side is 1/4 turn off. What is the best way to get this back in time? Do I need to back off the valves all the way? ANY HELP IS...

Did you have to pull the engine to change the stator?
