Re: Tick tick clunk!

Hey everyone, I haven't had much time to work on the bike lately but I did try and turn her over after loosening up my valve clearance a little (i was concerned that I have to little clearance and are therefore opening the valves to quickly)

When I turned it over I stuck my hand behind the carb because I wanted to see if it was sucking or blowing. Fist it is blowing, second it is blowing our gas.

Here's the assumptions I am making from that. I am getting fuel through the carb, and my exhaust valves are not closed at the correct time. Can anyone validate my assumptions.

I know that my valves not being closed could be a timing issue or a valve clearance issue I just want to make sure I am in the right mindset at this point.

Thanks
