Do the vent mod and fill the balancer cavity until registers at the full mark. Although lowering the level of the oil in the balancer cavity slows down the transfer of oil into the stator area it doesn't stop it completely. The lowering of the oil level by the engineers at Honda was the only solution they had at the time.

That "T" don't need to be there. It's just a vent for that side of the case which is actually ported over to the counter balancer. That's why you do the vent mod, so it don't fill up the starter that is on this side, with oil.
There is a link on the first page of this thread that I posted in the things to do list. In that link is comments and pics of the vent mod.
The sticker on the tank that says 20/1 oil was for way back in the day. Todays oils are different. Your 32/1 or 35/1 is good enough for air cooled Engine. Use a good oil, not some chainsaw crap.

You better be running some good high octane gas. You've been warned.

That's a good start but I still see some things.
1) no shock savers as of yet -- that can wait for now -- http://www.pilotodyssey.com/PO/viewtopi ... =2&t=17542
2) stock springs -- very very stiff
3) original Honda vacuum line to pump -- 32yrs old now
4) some of the hose clamps are suspect -- eg: the one from the T to the carb
5) stock fuel pump -- did it pass the flow test ??
6) no rubber boot over throttle cable on top of the carb -- potential small air leak
7) Ha ha, yeah. All my toys get 91 octane. -- my personal bias says better fuel
8) vent mod when time permits but this will mean yanking the Engine

This may be late in the day but I can't find where you posted any compression test results.
What's the compression ??

Well, she runs and runs strong. Problem is I am not getting fuel. Line is clear and I tried to prime it. I can see the pulses as I put some clear fuel line to verify flow. Is there a trick to priming these?

Starting to second guess my fuel pump rebuild job.

What's the wobble in the Engine at 1:20? Looks like you either have bad Engine mounts or you have a bent crankshaft. You need to figure out what is causing the wobble. I would start by check the runout of the crank.

Engine sounds pretty good. You have done a lot of work. Keep it up!

The camera isn't fast enough to record the vibrations, so it will just look like a blur. I'd still check into things.

Seems to run good despite the spooge. Let it run like that a little bit and maybe it'll clear up. Sometimes takes a bit of time for carb changes to show up. Throttle hang seems okay (no run-away rpm), so no major air leak. You won't know if you have a minor air leak until you start jetting and/or until you have an EGT.

What oil are you using anyways? Ratio?

Question. Does your driven pulley turn while idling?

Yes it will turn while idling if you are in neutral.

Warning. Don't let you Ody idle for long periods of time in neutral. This will case wear on the AB gear because it doesn't get lubricated unless the gears within transmission are actually turning.
