Hey Guys!
Got a Outlaw that's giving me some grief. Been to a few shops and no one can figure it out, Its now landed in my hands and i will get to the bottom of it.
Slow slow slow crank on the starter with spark plug in, plug out spins over lovely.
Compression tested at 100psi so not over compressing asif decompression lever issue. Although this was with a straight jump to the starter. As the decompression is a mechanical system shouldn't be wrong in assuming that.
Rumoured the bike has Hot Cam kit in it though I've not stripped much down yet to confirm. Leading me to think they may need a different valve clearence?
Apparently the valves have been adjusted, to what spec i don't know.
Ive narrowed it down to the starter is no good under load. Strange fault but if the engine spins freely it must be.
Also used a large battery to jump so we can rule that one out.
Ill be having a few covers off tomorrow and making sure the engine spins relatively freely by hand to fully rule out the over compression thing.
Anyone had a similar experience? Did find a few old threads similar but seemed to die before they were resolved?
Does anyone have any spec sheets for clearances etc? Will see if the cam has any numbers etc on it tomorrow to identify it.
Any help would be appreciated,
Many Thanks
Sam
