In this video we remove the carburetor from the XR650L and fix the pulse generator in stop
0:07
motion and we pay tribute to one of my favorite channels on youtube. Stick around

Hi I'm Francois from AdventureBikeTroop.com. In this video I want to give a big shout out to
0:25
George Corrales from Soup Classic Motoring. Go check out his channel if you haven't seen it before
0:30
He does awesome stop-motion videos where he restores an old Mercedes W123 Range Rover and
0:39
a Lotus Esprit amongst others. And it's just a pleasure to watch and he's such a nice guy
0:45
George is so inspiring and motivating and always trying to get us, normal DIY mechanics, out there
0:52
to work on our machines. So without further ado, here's me removing the carburetor
1:52
Thank you Peace We be right back
2:45
Now removing the carburetor from an XR650L is not a big job
3:02
It usually takes between 10 and 15 minutes if you've done it before, which I've done
3:06
a couple of times when I did the Dave's Mods. You can check out my video and learn from my mistakes up here somewhere
3:13
The next thing we are going to look at is the bike wouldn't start, it cranked, wouldn't
3:17
start, and I suspected the pulse generator because I measured and found an open circuit
3:23
where it should have been between I think 417 and 523 ohms
3:29
So here is some of that. Thank you
7:26
Now in the end it ended up not being the pulse generator
7:53
It was a bit dirty with metal filings. I cleaned it up and measured good after that
7:58
Unfortunately the gasket on the clutch cover was damaged So I had to make new one is difficult to find one locally
8:05
They're expensive and they have to come from overseas which takes six weeks at least to get here
8:10
So I just made my own one from a roll of flexoid gasket paper. It was kicking around here in the shed
8:16
I didn't film this because by this time the stop motion was just taking too long so George I don't know how you do it
8:25
big respect and but and please keep making those awesome videos but the next
8:30
time I wanted to start the bike it was dead again so I gave the CDI a smack and
8:35
it started right up I did order a new one it just arrived today put it in the
8:40
bike start first time so that was probably the problem all along and I
8:45
remember mentioning in a previous video where I had a no start condition that it
8:50
was dirty terminals and a flat battery now it could have been partly due to
8:54
that but both times I did smack the CDI as well just for good measure so that
9:00
is absolutely the wrong way to go about it not methodical at all I did mention
9:03
it before it was just a hapazit trying different things at once and they never
9:08
really know which one was the problem so please learn from that and just taste
9:14
one thing at a time isolate the problem and fix it without wasting your time and money
9:19
thank you for joining and i'll see you next week
