Lol and that's after cleaning it out profusely waiting on payday as always and my lovely parts supplier has packing I can grab it

 

[velociraptor]

The one you pictured is the one I've seen on em in the parts diagram ect.

 

[my67xr]

you could always use some roofing/wall insulation batts ?
give it a try by removing the expansion chamber first anyway

 

[velociraptor]

Ok besides waking my lazy neighbors removing the muffler made it idle a tad faster but not much else. However I accidentally left the fuel on and there was a small puddle under the carb not a huge amount but I thinks the float may be a tiny bit too high.....still don't help tho

 

[velociraptor]

Correction removing the muffler AND expansion pipe.

 

[velociraptor]

I've ran the bowl out of fuel with no change if it was a float level issue id suspect there would even be a slight change as the level got lower

 

[velociraptor]

Smh ugggg no timing mark and now I have to slot the screws just to remove them

 

[velociraptor]

The plug? Idk if the caps resistor or not its the stock one and I'm having a lazy day lol I don't want to get off my butt n check it

 

[my67xr]

didn't you replace the coil though?
when you check the cap it might have 5k imprinted on it, or use a multimeter set to 20,000 Ohms

the timing mark must be just under the tab

 

[velociraptor]

I replaced the stator primary coil not the ignition coil itself I might just replace it for the hell of it. Had a tester on the plug while running when at idle spark was consistant giving throttle it jumped around

 

[velociraptor]

Gonna have to take a break for now starter shaft stripped out and I just need to take a step back and give it a break come back at it with a fresh mind

 

[my67xr]

damn that sucks

when i bought mine someone had already stripped the splines and welded the kickstart lever on.
a new kickstart shaft is about $60 from suzuki, there are some nos ones listed cheap now and then.
it's the same one used in the pre '82 RM80s as well

i'll have a look at my DS and get the readings off the Ignition coil, so you can compare it to yours

 

[velociraptor]

Timing mark was on the face of stator plate apparently the plate was recently replaced its the only orig part on the bike that's like new

 

[velociraptor]

Ordered the new ignition coil as soon as I can I'm ordering a new starter shaft and going through everything with a fine tooth comb

 

[my67xr]

how much did they sting you for the special Suzuki internal CDI coil ?

 

[velociraptor]

Lol believe it or not 20$ us

 

[velociraptor]

The coil is supposedly direct fit for the bike. Replacing the starter shaft uggg need new crankcase gaskets.......

 

[my67xr]

ok that's not too bad then.
the genuine one used to be around $200, due to the bike not having a seperate CDI etc

 

[velociraptor]

Ouch lol but you'll never guess what I found after all the spraying around the head the compression tests ect? When I pulled the top end the gasket was showing signs of leaking. It was on old one (I have the new one but somehow mixed the two.) That could be a bit of the problem lol. ....still need a new starter shaft at $50

 

[my67xr]

yeah i still need the kick start shaft too,
the tack welds i did when i got it together ages ago are still holding it fine.
