Thank you everyone for the answers and patience. I did learn something so I think it was worth your effort 😀
When I put the big bore kit on last year I forgot to align the oil pump and had a severe sumping problem. Like oil down the side of the bike and the air filter was oil soaked. I bought the Fueling pump and new umbrella seals and enlarged the oil drain holes as a result. Learned something there the hard way which seems to be the way I learn.
I had around 5100 (I think dyslexia got me earlier with 1500) miles on it when the front piston went (front and back melting) and I think it was a combination of improper settings on the Dynatek TC88 ignition and possibly not letting it warm up enough before I started getting on it. I thought I had 34a set as my ignition curve and 5700 set as my rev limit. I don't know what happened I must have changed it because I was at 38a which I have to think is a "Potty mouth" ton of advance for a modified motor and the rev limiter was at 6200 I believe it was. It was a bad day.
I may be a little rich with 200 and 50 jets in a CV40. The plugs never showed rich though.
Any other advice I'm all ears. I'm waiting for my cylinders and pistons to come back from the machine shop right now.
