[QUOTE="5150jim, post: 90858, member: 757"] I have to ask if this has happen to anyone. I had to replace the cam on the right side so I replaced the timing belts at the same time. Well I got it all back together & ran it for about 15 min then I remembered that I had forgot to plug in the fan so I let it cool down for an hr or so & plugged the fan back in & tried to start it back up & it just went clank like it hit metal against metal when I push the starter. I also tried to turn the engine with a 12mm socket on the stator but it was locked up. I pulled the valve cover on the right side & look in & found nothing. So I pulled off the radiator and with a 19mm wrench on the crankshaft I turned the engine over with no problem. Not sure what happen. I know it was locked up but now it’s not. I have been working on this bike for over a yr. now. It sat for 5 yrs. & it has been one thing after another. I rebuild the carbs in Oct. checked the float settings & did Alley Kat's Bench Sync. & I put the carbs back on & started it up. And I noticed that the fuel pump was leaking so I swapped the fuel pump from the GL1000 to the GL1100. Took it for a quick run the down the street & run good at speed just not at idle. I set the valves & then ran the bike for a bit but it stopped pumping gas & I noticed the tech quit. I pulled the fuel pump back off & found that the back part of the cam broke off. Got a used cam & installed it. Set the valves & replaced the timing belts. And that’s where I am today. I did check the timing marks & everything looks correct but I have tried to start it a couple of different times & sometime it will hit metal against metal when I push the starter & other times it runs fine. I’m afraid to ride it in fear that it will do something to the engine. Anyone got any ideas? TNX, Jim [/QUOTE]
