Came here after seeing your RB build on Buell Riders. Thanks for sharing you knowledge. I am looking at a Blast and a KTM Duke 390. Blast looks a little rough and the KTM won't start. Since the KTM would have ABS (gonna be a ride for my kids to learn on), it is the more tempting option. But your work on the Blast has me thinking it might keep me entertained for a while.

Timing my own rat blast right now 🤘

Hey man how are you rotating that timing dot/line? Just spinning the rear wheel?

Thanks for the Quick Tip Video! I just bought a 2002 Buell Blast 2 weeks ago but it is not running as it is supposed to. If you don't mind. Can you help me diagnose the problem and tell me what you think is wrong? Here, I'll tell you what is going wrong. After I bought her, I got the float bowl part of the carb cleaned. The bike started right up after that but then started leaking fuel out of the carb (It didn't have this problem before) So I then took the float bowl apart again, adjusted the float level a little tighter so that no fuel would come out when it is up. Put it back together, turned the Petcock On and it wasn't leaking anymore. Ok, went to start up the Bike. And didn't start. Now, the only way she will start is if I cover the intake part of the carb with a towel. Hopefully you can give me advice so I could fix it since Harley charges $100 an hour. (Too Expensive for my Budget)

Hey man my timing light on the ignition module only comes on when the tick mark is rotated 180° away from the hole (I’m just guessing since I can’t see it, obviously) . When the tick is lined up center with the hole, I can’t get the light to come on no matter how much I rotate the ignition module. What can cause this to happen? Do I need to take the rocker cover off and move the pushrods? Bike is not starting at all. It seems to blow a lot of smoke through the airfilter when trying to start.
