While I was pulling stuff off the engine I THOUGHT I was being Ohhh so careful & observant. Imagine my surprise when I walked around the bike & saw a chunk of what looks like a kitchen scrubbie, but it's aluminum mesh, all rolled up tight. Whernahekk DUZ that thing go? I am thinking it goes in the squarisy hole that goes down to the oil fill area, only because I cant imagine it going anywhere else.
Now, the bolt that holds the rear guide, page 3-54 Zuki manual, bottom of page below the box about Thread Lock Super "1303" it says Use new gasket & tighten cam chain tensioner bolt 6 to head... What gasket? WHERE?
Also, I had a pretty good time of it getting the old, stretched chain off the cam gear, I sure hope getting the new on on isnt to big an ordeal.Wiggling the cam out was a bit of a task, too.
It says not to rotate the magneto, but the only way to get to the bolts is to turn the engine. I figure as long as the timing marks on the cam chain line up & the engine is on TDC, then the engine will be timed, specially since it fires every time it gets to TDC, theres no way to get the ignition firing ONLY when it it at TDC exhaust & not firing on compression, so, getting the cam in with its marks correct & piston at TDC = success?
I checked TDC with a pencil & got the piston at the very top, then looked in the openning & the mark was nicely lined up. It had( the piston) dropped to the bottom of the stroke overnight. Only way I can see that happening is I left it off TDC when I got the cam out.
I have "Three Bond 1104" & I have high temp black silicone. Either one okay for the head cover? Both, neither?
The end O the crank has a dot driven in it & the gear the cam chain has one & it has a painted dot, too. I dont see how these matter, tho. It seems the crank dot is at the bottom, when the pistoin is at the top, & the cam chain drive gear, the dots are on top, or were when I pulled it. I cant tell they are indexed at all & it seems to not matter in the least which way the dots linbe up, as long as piston is TDC & cam lines are aligned with the head & the bolt is at 1:00 Ocl;ock, then it oughta be timed.. Am I missin something?
My Cam Chain tensioner locking tool = 2 thicknesses of the aluminum kick panel from the screen door. I saved it when I cut the Doggie door. Trimmed with a curve in it to pass by the spring & folded so as to make a little handle to make removal easy.
Well, this is enough for now, Kiddo wants on, I will catch y'all later.
If ya cant help with the answers, just send money.. he he he... Seriously, thanks for any help..
