How do I know for sure if my problem is caused by bad valves? Is there any kind of test I can do? Should I remove the head and visually inspect?

Thanks - Jason



After having some similar symptomss, I found that my left side valves
and guides both needed replacing. I have 50,000 miles on an 850. It needs a
starter relay now, before I will really know if that problem is really fixed.
The cost for the valve job: $111.25 for the valves and guidess, $30 for the
labor...Greg '74 LAPD



1. Left side plug fouls out all of the time.
2. When the engine is started and both cyclinders are firing - I pulled up
on the throtle cable on the right side the engine reved as expected. When I
tried the same thing on the left cylinder the motor bogs down and does not
rev up. What could be causing this?

Thanks,
