This may be a stupid question, but i need to know.
Where is the "observation hole" for timing? I got a new ignition, and it says to remove the timing plug from the obs. hole and roll bike forward until the last mark passes thru. Now where the hell is this hole? I have no clue. Thanks guys. :)

I Raced Big Twins For A Bit (drag Race) And We Were Breathing Thru The Heads And Bottom Of The Crank Case. Messing Around On The Dyno I Found Out I Was Loseing 4 Ponies On The Top End.dont Know Why. Pluged Off The Head Breather Gained The 4 Horses Back.

Was still breathing thru the heads as well.... you can see the rubber lines coming over the top in the other photos... you can also see the line from the oil tank and where it all dumps into the catch tank on front of the battery. http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/stevo84cube/detail?.dir=2868&.dnm=fd68.jpg&.src=ph http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/stevo84cube/detail?.dir=2868&.dnm=444b.jpg&.src=ph http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/stevo84cube/detail?.dir=2868&.dnm=000a.jpg&.src=ph
I've gotta go thru the whole development merry-go-round again when it gets put back together t 88"... then I'll see what it likes with that combo.... no doubt the rules will change.. :(
Strange ya lost power lettin it go thru the heads.... but there's a lot more forces involved than most people could dream of, much less understand...
The more I learn about engines ... the less I know
mind you I'm getting to the stage that I know almost nothing... ;)
