Project FZR250 project

I'm not sure what you mean by the two holes but i think I got the other one. The first picture is where it stops turning. The location where they fire are badly marked out in Sharpie.

When the firing mark is bang on, the cam timing is a fraction off, but i think thats from camchain stretching.
To get the cam marks perfect I have to turn the crank only about a degree or 2

 

Man your a lifesaver. Guess it pays to double check what you think you know haha. What are the other two marks for then?

 

Id bet the spark gets advanced quite a bit at 17k rpm. Cams are back in and looking a lot more a accurate

 

Any ideas on fixing these scratches on the flywheel cover? Been for a slide or two I reckon.



Im pretty happy with how the frame has come up too

 

Too easy

 

Body filler worked great for about 90% of it. The tiny little scratches were a pain to get the filler in properly. I haven't got any paint for it yet so for now its gunna stay pink. With this whole virus thing the postage system is taking forever to get anything so I can't do much while waiting for parts. Next thing is the fairings. At first glance they look good, but if you look a bit closer theres a lot of small cracks around the mounting points and plenty of peeling decals. Anyone know of a site that prints custom decals? I can only find the motocross ones that cover the whole fairings. I just want the stickers for the FAI, EXUP and stuff. Ill repaint the rest of it first.

 

Mate that sounds amazing, thanks. I can clean the images up myself, wouldn't mind an excuse to finally get good with photoshop. Whats the best way to get the files to you? Just through DMs?

 

Carbie parts got here today finally, so I can begin putting things back on. Picked up some of the exup bits for a good price too, just need to find an cdi now. I was gunna get the carbs ultrasonically cleaned but instead i tried to make my own, and I rekon it looks pretty good. Ice cream container of petrol, got a little 12v motor from some old project, old 9v power supply and hotglued it to the side. Taped a spray paint can lid over the motor so it doesn't get knocked. Makes those cool vibrations on the petrol surface so I'll call that a success.

 

Righto so first hurdle: the plastic washers for the throttle shaft that come in the litetek kit don't really fit. With a plastic washer on both sides of the shaft, there isnt enough length to get the clip on with the metal washer, just enough with only the clip. Am i meant to ditch the metal washer?

 

Thanks, I've read that page before, good writeup. Im doing the number 4 carb at the moment, but i think its slightly different to the one used as an example. The no.4 throttle shaft in the guide doesnt have a retaining clip as far as i can see, mine does
