I preformed the leak down test today and it was 0-2% on both cylinders? Is this normal on a fresh motor? I was expecting there to be a lot of air past the rings since they are new and have not been run. I was expecting after I have run the motor a little for it to tighten up once the rings set.
I had to raise the back of the tank a little bit to give me some clearance to keep the petcock from sitting on the rocker box.
Here is the clearance after raising the back of the tank.
I got the intake, carb, fuel line and velocity stack installed. I am not sure how much I like that stack sticking way and the hell out there, but it is gonna have to do for the time being. This was a pain in the ass job as I had a hard time with the intake and the new seals.
I got all of the sprocket, trans and clutch bolts torqued down to specs. I finished installing the primary cover, adjusting the chain tension, adjusting the clutch and installing and adjusting the foot shifter.
I installed the new higher flow oil pump and installed all of the fittings. Also figured out the whole oil system so I can run the lines tomorrow after blasting the oil tank and painting.
Tested the starter then painted it to match the motor and then installed it.........
I was also able to run the clutch cable to the perch and set it up as well as hook up the throttle cables.
