Oh sweet action. Now to find a boot.

The spring was me asking before preforming, I was referring to the video. Ignore that one haha.

Starting.... Running..... Starting after turning off engine...... Going to let it set turned off for an hour and try starting it again (Let it run for a good while before killing and restarting it).

Before, it seemed that after it would run for a while it had a higher likely hood of starting back up. So since I had it running, and the start up was immediate after running for a bit, I feel I should give it some time and see if it still starts up with such ease.

At that point, (if it starts up nicely) then I shall put the body and seat back on, and take her on a short voyage, see if she rides right again, Open the throttle and so on. Will update soon, and thanks again!!!!!

Can I drive it off a cliff now?!??
Sigh.
It's stopped starting again.... Guess I'll go mess with the damn screws again.
She was running golden for a moment there!

Try opening the throttle a little when trying to start it. It is either to much gas or not enough for startintg.

...... She started right up.
Thanks Alleyoop!
I wonder why she was so testy yesterday.
This could all stem from me not having been able to replace the fuel petcock though maybe?

[Alleyoop]

Started up when you opened the throttle a little or did not touch the throttle?
Alleyoop

[kiewie]

She's normally starting again.... I turned the throttle before starting and worked like a champ...... Yesterday it was acting like I needed to adjust the rich/lean screw up until the point that I bought gas..... Maybe I wasn't paying attention when filling up previously? Ran great since.

[Alleyoop]

So your golden, running with the wind at your back
Ride Safe

[kiewie]

No. She's just doing all kindsa funky stuff again. :\
Man I'm really frustrated.

[kiewie]

So. Sounds like a little piece of that rocker arm bracket is still flying around inside my engine. When stopped and but still running, it tinks around here and there like random popcorn noise but with tiny metal on metal instead. How can I find this? Where should I look? Cause I looked in the Cam Area, thuroughly several times now. And when I changed my oil, got a bunch of little metal smithereens out.... 

And is sounds like it did when I first came on here. The motor is like.... I dunno... I sounds just like it did when the rocker arm bracket was broken. Like what is supposed to be more of a purr sounds more like a Chewbacca call....... Like a moving piece of the engine is clanking against something it shouldn't be or something. I'm running at under 25MPH top speed.

And finally..... My horn randomly stopped working, mid honk yesterday. Not a big deal, but definitely something to note and try to fix.... Again....

[Alleyoop]

Can you get a Video going of what it sounds like? If metal parts are down by the crank the only way is Either tear the motor apart Or try with a magnet to get the metal parts down there.

Here's the video!

[kiewie]

Also, Ummmm..... It looks like the screw to the vavles has literally Been Smushed until the arm.....
Maybe when I replaced the rocker arm assy and adjusted my valve? I dunno though cause I was trying really hard to be careful and precise. :/
What looks like metal shaving in this picture is actually the bottom of that adjustment screw. What does this mean? :/

[kiewie]

I have the old rocker arms and screws, and stuff... So should I replace this arm? 'Cause I don't think I'm getting that screw out.....
