Hey guys, thanks for all the help. The other day i went to open up the carb to check the jet and the first thing i saw was the main jet sitting in the bottom of the float bowl. Haha, that was easy. Anyways, the engine runs beautifully, and the shifting is getting really close, im just tuning it now....

Thanks, i will check that. also does anyone have a useful wiring diagram with colors. i am only 16 and never rewired a bike before and am kind of nervous to do so. Also what kind of battery does it take. ALso, does anyone know where to get a high performace carburetor for these bikes, there are a fe...

Thanks everyone. is there a way that i can check if i blocked the lube hole without splitting the engine casing. Also, i had a one of my motor head friends look at the issue where it would stall if i pulled the throttle too fast. he says that its probably that the magneto is weakened and can't suppl...

Thanks everyone. i will try all those things, but also i agree with the previous post that it might just be that the plates aren't worn in and i just need to run the bike before i worry too much. I will get the right washer and ask later if the problem persists. thanks!

No there is no slack, i used basic 30 weight oil and filled it a little above the line on the dipstick, i'm pretty sure i got the bearing in correctly. the nut is tightened, but i didn't have the lock washer so i bought a basic internal lack washer from the hardware store and it was a little large a...

Hi. I recently acquired a 1967 ace 100cc. I've gone through the engine and replaced all the bearings and seal. I put the engine back in the bike, and it all worked fine, compression, shifting, everything. However, when i put oil in the transmission, the clutch stopped fully disengaging. i checked th...
