Ahh gee now your ask me something I can't remember your talking crank marks ..I remember they are different and use the T marks not F marks ..funny why they did this differently on 1000s 1100s and 1200s

Your in depth research is something to be admired ...EFI ...AND MANUAL FUEL INJECTION ..are the factors of this tech ..on diesils the injector pumps are basically a fuel distributor on gas cars spark is provided that way ...TBI injection is 1/2 carb and 1/2 injection set up ..a very flawed...

Timing marks for cams is the same ....just be sure once you get timing set you rotate motor to a free no valve spring pressure spot and adjust belts to about 1/4" deflection total only both sides ...belts must be tensioner correctly to get it timing the best it can be

You don't hAVE to but you would have to mod the 1000 points cover lip to fit 1100 heads ..the valve covers will interchange ..the one part of the 1100 heads that better than 1000 heads is the cam carrier it has a better oil feed slot than 1000 cam carrier ...personally I like to change that as...

Basically you have to take out rear ignition so it don't hit the frame ..the ignition slide out and is held on by a pin ...don't loose that in the motor back cover very easy to do ...depending on year of motor the bike with 80-81 motor will be very low geared 82 yr is taller geared 83 is the...

Seems it would have to be vacuum. From all cylinders to be consistent on FPR...

I am going to pick up this thread again ...lots of things have happen that has pUT the motorhome project on hold ..we lost our elected president in a coup and this FJB ILLEGAL DICKTATOR has trashed this country completely ..as far as the bus goes its been vinyl in carbon fiber wrap ...but on the...

It could be ignition especially if it one of those dyna deals for 1000 oldwings ...what size bike is it ?

Looks great and very useful

Wow that's neat

Yep that's one nicely done bike

Sounds like a nice 87 ..with 1200s if it's running good now at purchase time it's a good sign ...on 1200s it's carbs and dreaded black box ingition system that can give fits ...lots of parts are unobtanible ..theres no doubt the bottom end shortblocks ate the best of all oldwing 4s

Yes wheel and brake spacers ...

Switching out pumkin is not that bad ...it's a gamble but worth taking I'd say ...just keep all the spacers in right spots

Hmmm you missed my point ..I'm not advocating carbs over EFI.AND ALL THINGS INVOLVED ...I've been dealing with EFI ...a few years now ..EFI has one thing more than carbs do it has a fuel map and other computer controls to change fuel fuel map time of open injectors for given inputs ...O2 sensors...

What you discribe is exactly how a carb works ...wot NO vacuum max gas feed and advance ...part throttle big vacuum pulls timing advance downto match fuel flow ...and of course choke to enrich fuel during warm up ..FI is just a different form of a carb ...period I have used the caveman...

It's also a symptom of bad electronic ignitions maybe on the VW MOTOR

Great subject I agree each system has its downside .... Problem with Honda points like a lot of there stuff is user unfriendly or more better put when you have two separate belts for timing ..you have 2 separate motors ...and Honda idea of proper belt installation couldn't be more wrong ...the...

Good fix

I AGREE DEALING WITH FUEL PRESSIRES 10X MORE THAN CARBS IS A HIGE CONSODERATION ...SOME OF TJE STUFF OUT THERE NOW DAYS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE PRESSURE IN DIRECT INJECTION INTO COMBUSTION CHAMBER ...
