You got some bad luck (like me). I'm gonna quit reading this thread, maybe it's my bad luck seeping through the interwebs....

Im not sure what is going on with whos paying who for what as it sits now, I took the wheeler back from him but he still has my pulse generator and CDI, I have two more cams here so I can use one of those. I also have another CDI and pulse generator so we will see what happens i guess. Its just the whole point of the matter. i mean seriously, how the hell do you snap the cam in two? Now I gotta pull the whole damn motor back out of the bike and start from square one with this problem!

on one of the 70's i picked up at one time the guy had just rebuilt the motor but when i went to start it it would just throw a fireball out of the exhaust and this was due to the timing being out 180, so i am surprised that if you are out of timing 180 degrees that you arent getting the same fireball, and also when doing valve lashing adjustments be sure to use a feeler gauge and keep them in clearence this can cause some serious problems

Why do you have to take the engine out? You should be able to get both pieces of the cam out without removing the engine or the head. All you need is what's called a "magnet". LOL It sounds like you are your own worst enemy here. And I can't even begin to figure out how a "mechanic" busted a cam in 2 while working on your trike. Something ain't kosher here at all. And if you are working on this trike without a shop manual, well, that's just plain stupid. So if you are working without a manual, then you aren't putting things back together without the proper torque specs or anything like that then. Even if you get the trike running, then I don't expect it to be running for long. The longer this thread goes on, the worse it just keeps getting. Best of luck.

I have been glancing at the manual during this, unfortunatlly its a haynes manual. As for torque and all that other, some of us dont have all the money in the world to buy new tools and have mint wheelers, some of us are just dirt broke enthusiats that get by with what they have! Clearly from your sig youve got the abillitiy to get what you need, I on the other hand being 26 having a eight year old, a 8month old and just finding out the other day that there is another one on the way dont have the money to piss away on things that arent absolutly critical! as for getting the cam out, ya your right I should be able to get it out without taking it out, I wasnt thinking. He snapped the cam because he said it looked like in was bent where the pulse generator slides onto it so he tried to straighten it, that when its snapped clean off! I dont know what the hell he was trying to acomplish, but its not all that big of a deal. If i dont get the thing going I will just part everything out!
