#2 has low compression, 65 psi. I had the valve clearence checked and adjusted on all four. Then a leakdown test pointed to the rings.
-
My 85 has a weak #2 cylinder. I picked up an engine from an 83 for $130.00 with the carbs. I want to do a complete rebuild of that engine and put it in the 85. The 85 runs good even with the bad cylinder but I want it to be 100%.

Check out the following link. Has anyone here used these and is that a good price for a complete set?
-
Look at this post from the tech library.

The weather man said it's going to snow here tonight. 2-4" inches in Northern Wisconsin about 1" were I live.

Take a look at this thread. I have not tried it yet, but I think I might.

Check the compression while you have the plugs out. My 85 has a week #2 cylinder and will do over 90 mph easily in fifth gear.

That is really cool, great job.

My 85 had the same problem. It was the float and sending unit mounted in the tank under the seat. I got a replacement on ebay for around $30.00 with shipping. The sending unit has a fine copper wire coil in it and when the copper wire breaks it's done for.

The stock spacers are 3 7/8" long. If you had just washers and no spacers installed i would have to say you have aftermarket springs not stock springs.
-
If I remember right the spacer that came with my progressive springs was about 3 in. I cut them in half because it was too stiff with the full spacer.
-
I have the stock spacers, but you could make some from PVC pipe. When I get home tonight I can measure the length of the stock ones.
-
I just picked up a used engine today for $130.00. I,m going to completely go over it and use it to replace the three cylinder in my 85.

The last 2 winters I used seafoam in the gas instead of sta-bil. I have not had any problems. The bikes start right up in spring better than they did when I used sta-bil.
-
I have a complete trunk with a good latch and key. I can send you just the latch and key just send me a PM with your address. If anyone else is interested in the trunk let me know. It has 2 small cracks in the top cover.
-
Is this one of the parts you need? (see picture) If so send me a PM with your address.

You should also pull off the front wheel and clean and re-lubricate the speedometer worm gear. I had a bad squeak at the front wheel and thought it was the wheel bearings. The grease in the worm gear was dried up.
-
I am also fixing up my 1st Gen cassette deck, but I need one of the large buttons. If anyone has one to sell please send me a PM.
Thanks
