The saga continues!!!!! A few weeks ago I went to drive this thing and NO SPARK again.
After a very thorough check of all the electrical components the coil is dead. A new coil is upwards of $140+ without caps, and one of the carbs stills overflows due to a bad seat. (racegeekjim did offer me a spare set of carbs cheap) The engine works but not well enough to keep dumping money into it even though it has only 2600 miles on it. Found a $200. Craigslist deal for a 1986 Honda VFR700F with 33,000 miles instead. Granted this will have a clutch but my crowd here will just have to learn!!! This motor has only about a 78 HP rating but has 40+ft. lbs. of torque, this is over my 50 HP rated Polaris tranny but I'm going to try it.
Since all my stuff is experimental I may modify the swingarm again for improved tire angle/travel on the IRS portion. Also I'm going to try and shorten it a little.
I haven't tried a V4 motor yet- so it's got my interest up and it's another challenge for me.
Anyone own/owned one of these? suggestions?
