CB77 cam install issue

prodigal son · 2026-01-30T00:09:56+00:00

I made the novice mistake of using the LT mark instead of the L mark on the crankshaft rotor to time the "dot" on the camshaft sprocket. Finding I couldn't set the valve clearance, I disassembled and used the L mark this time, and that corrected the problem. Having done this It didn't feel like I had any valve/piston hitting issues as the motor moved easily. Could I have bent a valve with using the LT mark? Thanks, Gary

I didn't get my CB77 into the shed before the snow came but I did get its cover on. The snow is now up to the fuel tank and the tank has a pile about 2' high on top. It too is in the deep freeze. I live in southern Ontario so winters are quite variable. I'm enjoying this one.
