Hi, I am a new member. I just bought a 2002 Kawasaki 650 and when it was delivered to me I did not realize that it was running only on one cylinder. Man I was disappointed.. any way I purchased a new head for the valves were broke and it scored the top of the piston only and not the cylinder. This is the rear head that I am replacing and valves. I used a wire to hold the timing chain. Howere I noticed that the cam did not have the pre decompression items it had been removed and closed off on the timming cam. There is a arrow on the gear... Can anyone give me some info to time this.. I do not want to do it wrong and mess up the engine...
I am also trying to make my 4x4 actuator manual since it was not working. I need a type of thumb control and I think a bike shift might do the trick on the handle bar with a cable down to the actuator and I am planning to drill in the gear and make a groove for the cable to turn the gear to engage the 4x4... any other ideas.
