Post by Mordusy »

Just got my first storm and love it but has some problems first it need manual cct fitting and second it's got hesitation from around 6000rpm and idea on the hesitation issue and is there any one local too the staffordshire area that knows what they are doing with the cct I'm just not confident enough any more ?

I'm nowhere near, sorry.
But about the hesitation, does it rev to the redline in neutral but won't pick up in gear after six?
If so, the cam timing is 180 degrees out.

It's an easy fix.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Yes in neutral it's fine but after 6000 rpm in gear it's slow and juddery to red line.

What will 180 degree timing look like on the cams etc ? What am I looking for ?

Thanks

The cam indicators still show correctly, it is the relationship between each cylinder that is wrong.
The workshop knowledgebase gives all the details.
All you need to do is to time both sets of cams following the advice given here.
