beating a dead horse

no compression on #2, #4 has compression with oil in it. 80 kz750 valves?

Try the valve clearances first if they are to tight you may get low readings like that

hits this dead spot about 5 minutes after starting every time I take it out maybe the valves are sticking.

oil additive/cleaner?

Try some sea-foam or go back to soda blasting them valves again... Choose to reply, feed the troll

I drained some oil and forgot to tighten the plug then put the last 4 oz of marvel mystery oil in the oil and it came out of the plug. after tightening it I went out again(45 miles today). every time I warm it up and go out 5-10 minutes it hits a dead spot like the plugs are coated in gas and once it goes away it just takes off, I got to keep my hand on the clutch.

Feed the troll, gotcha a post designed to piss people off.
That's not what this is, I just don't know how people are going to react to what I say(help please).
I actually think the dead horse can be brought back to life as it seems there is no clearance on the intake valves at all(less than .003).
I took the shims to my the shop and got them measured. I have a set of 5 that are 2 sizes smaller on the way. the ones in there are 2.45 I think.
although it would have been the same price to get them online with the shipping a lot faster but I don't own a measuring device, more tools to the pile.
nice to have a while to think about it anyways, I need to take a break from riding this thing, I am sore from my head to my feet.

Welcome back Don,place hasn't been the same without ya! :woohoo:

As Emily Litella would have said "What's all this fuss about eating a dead horse?"



Giddy up! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

maybe just a coma, the kzhorse is still kickin with some clean blood in the sump.
