Hi everyone,
I have a WC1 with a recently installed cylinder replacement kit and new carburetor and and copper gasket. The parts were purchased from Quentin and installed by the prior owner. The bike ran when I purchased it.
Chased down an electrical short but I now have a spark. It is blue/white, but having nothing to compare to, I do not know if it is weak or strong.
Compression seems OK. If I attempt to roll the bike without the release , the rear tire drags. I did remove the head, sanded it on a flat surface and tightened the bolts in the correct order and to the recommended torque.
Cleaned the carb and the float seems to be doing it's job. I can't identify the jet size. Brand is Kie Han. Throttle and choke seem to operate normally.
When attempting to start it, I get intermittent firing while pedaling and then there is gas running down the outside of the exhaust pipe. There is a small crack in the exhaust gasket. Gas also appears to be seeping past the head gasket on the exhaust side although it may be coming from the exhaust gasket and just flowing down along the head. Hard to tell exactly.
Any suggestions?
