just finished putting my engine together
.65 milled
ported
27mm intake 25mm ex
Molly push rods
billet lifters
1.2 rockers
26pound springs
Suzuki locks + retainers lightweight caps
black mamba cam
billet rod billet flywheel
8 degree timing
22mm mikuni
+
ok long story short after I put the engine together I could not pull start it, it tried to start but seemed like it wasn't getting gas, put some gas into the spark plug hole and started first pull. The engine went off and reved to max rpms and wouldn't idle. I don't know if it is because I don't have a throttle cable in the mikuni yet or what ... the mikuni has a 17.5 pilot and 130 main this is probably something easy, but it's my first build. Sounds like a sick nasty engine though. I set valve lash at .003 for exhaust and intake, but could this issue be from a tight intake valve?
