So just for the helluvit, I re-checked everything today. Full disclosure, after I sync’d everything the other day my idle was around 1,000rpm when it used to be 800 so I figured I would adjust it down.
Bringing the engine up to 2,000 rpm showed both sides nicely sync’d. So far, so good. Dropping down to 1,000 showed a slight (very slight) difference so I checked the angle of he downlinks from the hex bar and fiddled with one to make it straighter (I just used a small carpenter square) and precisely the same as the other side. That made it more linear for both sides and proved all that stuff Danny has been telling us about getting both linkage links exactly the same in all respects.
(blah, blah, blah….Linkage….Blah, Blah.) 😉
Spent another 2 minutes adjusting the idle stops so they both hit at precisely the same time (I just watch for a slight change on the Snail when turning the adjustment screw) and declared victory. This suckah is runnin’ great!
Time for an Allagash beer.
