Hello
This in my first post here and I know what you are thinking.... a noob with a breather problem.
And that is some what correct. I have had my bike for three years now and I really enjoy riding it, when it works. And I have learned a lot during this time
Bike info: Bullet 500 MY 2005 5 speed 7000km on the clock. Amal 930 carb.
So I have done as good as I can replacing breather hoses because the old ones where a bit dry and had small cracks and the inside was full of "elephant snott", did this solve it, OH NO.
So now I have leveld up a bit. Removed the timing side to check the odd problem with the worm gear seal. And YES it was half way loose, so I found a problem. So orderd new part from our hosts (my only source for parts).
Did a bit of an overhaul on the timing side. New HC oil pumps, new crank shaft seal (since I was taking it apart anyway), new worm gear with a neopren seal and a new gasket of course.
Put it all back together and filled new oil then started the bike, and it started. I had not changed the timing becaus I didn't mark all the positions of the cog wheels. So far so good.
Took the Tapet cover of to see oil coming down from the valves, but no oil. Loosend the banjo on the rocker feed pipe, NO OIL!!!
So now I have taken it apart again tonight. What struck me as odd was that the timing side did not contain any oil compared to the first time i removed it. And the feed pump was full of oil and the return was almost dry.
Now I have lapped the oilpums in again and checked the gasket so it don't cover any of the feed holes.
So I would like some input and your thoughts about what I should do/check as next step. I am running out of ideas if this is not working after I assembled it again.
Cheers
Robert
