Rode The Ace 90!

Post by viclioce »

Well she finally got fired up tonight!

Had to adjust the idle, but she’s pulling hard thru all 4 gears! Made my eyes water because I was just wearing my eyes glasses!

Now one question…

The rear of the bike doesn’t seem to be tracking straight with the front end. There’s maybe a 5-10 degree difference. The handlebars must be held turning slightly right to go in a straight line. Any tips on how to adjust for this?

Just need to do a tiny bit more idle increase tomorrow! But boy! I’m happy with her for the most part! :ugeek: Victor

I'm sure you probably checked, but are the chain tensioners adjusted symmetrically?

Matt, I’ll double check. I had a few issues with the chain. Maybe that’s all I need to do! Thx for reminding me! And thanks to you too Albert! :ugeek: Victor

You were right Matt. The right side of the axle was a 1/4” closer to the end of the swing arm than the left side, measuring on center of axle, both sides.

I also figured out the plastic fender isn’t mounted 100% straight!

I’m going to ride it again now to check the idle and how the tracking is. Thanks for the reminder. :ugeek: Victor

Looks like I need to pull the carb off again. Floats don’t seem to be level. It went a few hundred yards & I shut it off at a friend’s house. When I started it back up it was running like the bowl was overflowing.

I’ll have to check float level and also make sure there’s no float leaks. :ugeek: Victor

Gotterdun! Adjusted the floats just a bit more and now everything seems to be fine! She idled for a good 10 minutes and no issues with it overflowing and flooding! Time to make a delivery run!
