as for the bolt, i mean the "inspection hole" bolt on top of the valve cover.
its a large flat head screw.
the variator spins, and i can definetely feel a gust of air when cranking
with the spark plug out.

how can i sync the cam to the crank ? i mean, i already messed up the "marks"
on the cam as far as lining them up. do i want the lobes of the cam "flat" on top,
or what ?

thanks,
mike

ok, so i can feel a nice gust of air. im thinking maybe its the valves. i have tried to follow the manual, but im doing it wrong.
when i removed the cam chain from the sprocket, i did not note the position. i have removed the inspection hole
from the right side crankcase, but i cannot see the mark on the flywheel. i can see the tdc mark on the cam gear.

 i cannot unscrew the inspection bolt on the top of the valve cover. too tight, and the bolt just chips  when i try to open it.
im at a total loss. im assuming not noting the the chain position relative to the flywheel mark is my issue.

i have started it since gasket install. prior to gasket install, it was black but dry. as to the compression,
ill have to rent that from the auto parts store. the bike wont turn over. i hear the gear spinning, 
but it wont "catch". not even close. ill have to record it and upload it.

thanks,

yup. thats the gear. when i put the the case back on, it (impeller) does not spin freely.
all is well in tinseltown then. im hoping to get my master cylinders today. received the
gaskets , air filter, and exhaust gasket yesterday. this weekend the wife and i are going
to the msf class all weekend. pretty pumped about that.

as to the floribama lounge .... ive never been there, but it was mentioned in a great book
i just finished by tim dorsey - hammerhead ranch. im hoping to work on the scoot later this
evening, and the pics will follow.

thanks again for taking the time to point me in the right direction rich. you are a wellspring
of knowledge as they say.

updates will be forthcoming.

thanks again,
mike

side note:

i have checked the library, but could not find a honda clone cfmoto
engine tear down guide. they all seem to be gy6 style.
the search continues...

ha. very nice. you got moxy kid !
yah, i did destroy that terminology. i doodly reckon the gaskets should be
here by friday im hoping. so far, cleanup is going "good". ill have to hit
it again some time on the weekend.

as for the library, im going to start reading that while waiting for aforementioned
parts.

on another note ..

bashan, have you ever been to the floribama lounge ?

thanks,
