Re: Z900 A4 fuel leak any ideas please?
I’ve just looked on the Z power site and if it’s the pattern one they have shown that he’s bought, each set of points does have its sub mounting plate.
He’ll get there!

Cheers.

Re: Z900 A4 fuel leak any ideas please?
Humour me and forget the strobe at the moment and rig yourself with a 12v bulb on a couple of lengths of wire and set the timing manually one set at a time using the timing marks and turning the engine over with a spanner. Set the points to the correct gap and then connect your bulb to earth and the...

Re: Z900 A4 fuel leak any ideas please?
Thinking about what you said in your last post. If it’s backfiring through the carbs and popping the rubber cap off, to me that would suggest seriously advanced ignition timing on that pair of cylinders which is igniting the charge before the inlet valve is closed. Or, the inlet valve on that cylind...

You’re working really hard on this bike and I for one want you to get it sorted and ride the wheels off it through the summer!
Keep going, you’ll get there!

Re: Z900 A4 fuel leak any ideas please?
I think I would also strip out the points and either replace them or strip them down to clean and check them along with lubrication of the moving point pivot shafts.
If the points are so corroded the moving point arms could be sluggish.
I’d check them for sure.

Re: Z900 A4 fuel leak any ideas please?
I’m not convinced. The position of the visible cam sprocket bolt on the exhaust cam looks out of position to me and lacks symmetry with its opposing bolt head on the inlet cam. A careful re count and re check is definitely the way forward.
Looking forward to hearing the pin count.

Re: Vendetta and his shaft addiction
Welcome back! Nothing wrong with a good shaftie! Although I have my fix from a different stable that’s a bit more on the dark side!
