The vacuum guage reading was similar during the symptoms 10"-11" not sure if a vacuum leak that's enough to create these problems would be detectable on the guage.

I guess I could spray it down with starting fluid while running but I'm a little gun-shy about fires right now!

I'm getting ready to go through the tach wiring to verify the power and ground points. That has been haunting me so it's time to eliminate it.

KTM valve adjustments on the LC8 and RC8 are a little more complicated but not once you access the valve covers since they use shims.

It takes a while to get to this point and the covers are still not removable!


My '83 750 & '84 500 Honda V-Four Interceptor motors were a breeze as were the XR500's.
