Yup, it was the valves. Three of the four were too tight. Compression is now 150/150. Just doing an oil change, then on to tuneup and checking out drivetrain. Hopefully will have it roadworthy before the end of the summer. Thanks for the advice. Also, my rear sprocket is "hooked". Should this be rep...

I have the exact same issue. 120 and 60. Cadman, thanks, you helped me earlier. I wish I had read this a few hours ago. On my neighbours advice I put oil in the cylinder, when I had a jug of Mystery Oil sitting right next to the oil. It brought the compression up to 100, I only let it sit for a few ...

I will pull the cover and look. Anything I should look for in particular? Just the arm going up and down? I am new to these bikes. Also, it is the model with two sets of points, so couldn't the timing on just one side be out?

timing or sticky valve-smoke out of carb

Well, I finally got it running after carb and petcock rebuild - newly acquired 1967 cl77. They really are great sounding bikes... BUT, I am getting back pressure coming out of the right side carb. I have been adjusting the timing using lm's method, but to no avail. Then I started thinking that it ma...

How many Scramblers were produced?

Does anyone know the approximately production numbers of the different models produced? How does this compare to Superhawk production? In general what is more valuable a comparable Scrambler or Superhawk?

Thanks for any info.
