Justin, I checked it twice to make absolute certain, I rotated the crank shaft the same direction the wheels spin, counter clock wise, went through the cycle a few times to make sure I had a good understanding of everything. I rested my hand on the intake rocker and when I felt it go down I then lined up the timing marks. I also popped out the sparkplug and carefully inserted a screwdriver in the hole touching the top of the piston. This would be TDC on the compression stroke correct?
As far as Verslagen's advice, it starts on first rev so I think the decomp is slightly loose but it fires right up and runs great. (other than the loud knocking
)
I then stabilized the bike upright, ran it for a minute, and removed the top inspection cover. The rockers look like theyre oily but I couldn't find the oil tub, I didn't know exactly where to stick my fingers and could barely get one in anyway. I tried to take some pictures, maybe you can see it?
I've still got the inspection cover off, could you be more specific on where I am looking?
I also took a picture of the compression tester. Highest I got it was a hair over 110 with a warm engine.
Thanks again everyone!
