Deuce (Multifuel) just won't start

[silverstate55]

Just wondering...If it was running OK before you started working on it what did you do to get it 180 degrees off?

Took the whole IP apart to replace O-rings and check for problems...when I put it back together I did so 180-degrees off. The alignment marks on the input shaft will turn TWICE for every grooved tooth alignment on the HH.

Which makes sense: the HH needs only be aligned once every two rotations of the crankshaft, as it is a 4-stroke motor. The only way to be totally sure when doing so is to pull the forward valve cover off and check for clearance between the valve pushrods & the rocker arms at TDC...

I ran it for about 2 hours today while flushing the cooling system...it started right up & runs like a champ now. Not a lick of smoke either!
