[QUOTE="SteveW, post: 14484, member: 2031"] [b]Hesitation Problem[/b] It seems the hesitation problem was due to a bad magneto after all. Last summer when the hesitation showed up I sent the mag back to where I had it rebuilt (Mainely Magnetos) to have it checked under warrenty and it was given a clean bill of health. After rebuilding the carbs and going down many expensive blind alleys the mag was switched out w/ a known good one and the bike worked perfectly. The mag must of been failing under a higher compression. I am waiting for a competent rebuild to be completed now to find out what was wrong w/ it. Mainely Mags would not refund any money but did offer to look at it again (this would be the third time). I declined w/ a some not to kind observasions about Mainely Mags.* *I got the mag back originaly, after the rebuild w/ the cam side end bell off 180 degrees. After trying to time it for a day and a half, I luckily found the problem before breaking my leg from a kick back or doing any other damage, that along w/ the next problem and Mainely Magnetos not finding a problem when I sent it back to them to check it, I personnely would not trust them w/ fixing a flashlight (torch).
