I know the I plug you are talking about but i know it is the seal was watching it leak today lol anyone know the best way to take that seal out?? and i am ordering a new one on monday. cleaned all the oil soaked parts up and put them back on the motor and it started right up my miss on #1 is gone so we know that was a problem now i set the RPM at 4500 for about 1 min and stoped the bike all 4 plugs are now the same colour black lol but have been here befor will take it for a ride tomorrow 1 km or so cause of the oil seal and see if the plugs stay dark or go WHITE again.

P.S. Still wont turn over 7500 sitting in the garage. I have 45 for idle and 110 on 1 and 4 and 115 on 2 and 3

PP.SS. when i took off the pickup coil to clean i noticed it had been abused so i had the whole unit off the another 81 that looks just like new so used it i will also be taking off the the valve cover AGAIN to check my timing AGAIN just to make sure because when i loosened the timing wheel to take off the pickup coil it had at least a 1/4 inch of play the P.O. looks like he tightend the wheel on 180 out dumb ass so i could maybe be off a tooth one way or another so anyways thats where i am if this dosent do it i will be putting the bike aside till i can get the boys to come out and look over it with me cause i am or will be stumped if this dosent do it.

thanks for everyones imput please keep bringing it i must be missing somthing small.

thanks Jim
