Ok. I am going to take a better look possable the oil could be comeing
from the valve cover I have had it off enough. I also found an intermitten
problem with the left plug not firing seems to be a bad plug wire. I am
going to replace it today if I can get to the parts house,I wonder if that
maybe part of my problem, I am pretty sure the air mixture passages are
clean I can see carb cleaner free flowing out all the holes when I spray it
into the seat area. I think it needs bigger jet or new ones. You are
right if oil was getting in the cylinder it should be smoking like crazy
but it isn't, just weird all of a sudden oil is running from the top. Well
once I get my house sold and moved I may end up doing a ground up
restoration as long as I can buy me another bike, I about have my wife
convinced to let me sell my jeep pay off some debt and then buy a bike
after the house is sold, become a real biker solo transport no car :-)

Rick,

If you are getting the compression at 150 I think the cylinders
will be ok.
Certainly if there is oil getting into the cylinders you will see
blue
smoke. Is it possible that one of the o-rings is leaking?

I believe the jets are available, the slides I am not sure. The
taper
needles may be hard to find.

Give Mark a call...he will be able to give you the full poop. Be
sure to
mention that your Birthday is on the 28th of Feb too :-)

Regards...Ian


 
28 Feb is my birthday :-) I was thinking about ordering new
jets slides
 and needles along with the tune up stuff. I am starting to get a
lot of
 spark plugs fowling out on the left cylinder also, I kinda wonder
if the
 chrome is giving in.

Rick
