the oil on the fins is not important come from the valve cover and is almost normal on the GZ.
Check compression, if is low check valves. if the valves are to tight the compression is low and do not start |

Test compression by putting you finger over the plug hole and cranking. It should blow your finger of the hole. Quote:

in this video I was confused :hmm: when you mentioned carb cleaner /starting fluid. just a note carb cleaner does not work as starting fluid. |
A wee bit of white gas for a Coleman stove will work as starting fluid. Just a few drops should work.

Make up a To Do List. Keep a record of everything you do. Our bikes have been documented from their first day and it is a tremendous advantage when needing some trivial info that has been forgotten.
Having a record of when, where, why and what things were done and the mileage plus costs incurred are a big help. |
Tested compression (local bike shop let us borrow the kit with a $100 deposit), obviously on a cold engine. Got around 50psi. Opened up valve cover to look at them and they aren't moving, least not that I can notice, as we turn the crankshaft (following procedure in the "Valve Clearance" instructions on pg 2-5 of the service manual. Further inspection/experimentation is ongoing
