after installing my new cylinder I think I may have broken somthing towards the bottom of the advancer shaft. like an idiot I turned the nut without holding the shaft. now the whole mechanism turnes but doesn't spring back into the closed position. what do I need to do? remove the right side cover? also, what part in there did I most liklely break?


thanks

Pull the right cover and look for the rest of the shaft, its a small piece of metal with a steel pin riveted to it with a break mark on the other side of the steel pin.

the little clutch cover can stay as long as you remove the thru bolts, the water pump can stay but its a lot easier to pull it and get the impeller off so you don't have to fight the gear

I pulled the cover and as far as I can tell nothing is broken. I just can't figure out why the power valve wont snap back to the closed position. Also, do I need to replace the kickstarter shaft seal when i put it back together?

I figured it out. The lever on the bottom of the advancer shaft was bent. After further inspection I realized it was also cracked.

At least you caught it before it broke off and did some damage.

I agree. I rode it today after I got it halfway put back together. Definately has more power. Problem is, my powervalve won't shut all the way. I think I'm going to pull the cylinder off and disasemble the valves. They don't seem to be operating smoothly.
