Hi all.
My bike , 1972 350 bullet, had issues in June, so I had to do my road trip by car. Just got back and trying to address the issue. The bike ran, died. I replaced some parts including the decompressor. It ran beautifully for about 20 minutes. Idling, I heard some "crunch" /mechanical sound and it just died. I left the next morning with the car.
Three months later to now...
Thought it might be the push rods/tappets, so today I opened the cover and...they are spinning perfectly. So, it ain't them.
Bike is in neutral but the kicker is "stuck".
What would be the next plan of action?
I thought about the kicker spring but I don't think that the spring would create the sound I heard when it died.
Horror of horrors, could it be a frozen piston, or the gear box?
I am out of my element if so and out of money to get a pro mechanic who knows these bikes.
Any help will be really appreciated
Thank you,
Mitchell
