Last weeks trivia question: What did Suzuki S.A.C.S stand for? Answer: Suzuki advanced cooling system. Basically oil/air cooled.

Question 1: 1983 CB1000 chatter/clatter
Answer: Look into the starter clutch located on the left side. Maybe it is the springs/rollers that are making the noise?

Question 2: 1976 Honda CB500 - running on 2 cylinders
Answer: Assuming good engine compression, look into timing again. Bench synch the carbs followed by vacuum synch.
