Nice Bike ! Reminds me of mine
Except mine's a 96 SP . I never have been able to get mine (944 with Doug Lofgren portwork) to run without pinging on pump (93) gas . Yes the timing has been retarded . Might not have the squish set right . But since it needs to come apart anyway to fix the frame cracks , and I picked up a good used set of Carillos , and it has always bugged me that the reciprocating assembly has never been balanced properly , and I may have the infamous oil galley plug backing out , I suspect I have yet another impending project on my hands . Yes I wrote that run-on sentence on purpose
At least I don't have to worry about whether or not I'll like the bike when I'm done . After 9 years , waaay too much money and all sorts of problems , I still love it . Hey BrianK , I've got a '75 Commando on the way . Might need to chat with you about the FCR's on it and some other stuff
