What is the recommended TPS v ? With a carb stix or whatever you are using and it's content . You are wanting a max reading of each cylinder .

They were a GREAT motorcycle . H-D owners just could not bring themselves to ride one , no one else would go to a Harley shop and look at one . a buddy of mine that at one time had two Harleys and a Buell loved it . Something like 6 rear tires in the first year of ownership . He came by the shop one afternoon and let me take it for a spin , I had to stop twice , get off and make sure it had a V-twin engine . I can't recall the model . White , and the instrument cluster lights came on is sequence , then all on . It was WAY TOO righteous for me .

Get plenty of gaskets , hose clamp the NEW oil filter , and enjoy . As I once said , it is the greatest improvement you will never see .

You got that right !

And you grease them EVERY oil change .

Judging from the blue seals on the u-joint caps I would say you used Spicer u-joints ? The BEST !

You did use plenty of wheel bearing grease on the needle bearings in the hub where the axle shaft goes through the spindle ?

Contact a hydraulic hose / fitting store ( Parker , Gates , etc. ) and ask them about tools to straighten up the mating surface . They may have something in stock . Take it w/you , they might do it for you for free & get rid of the burr in the bore of the fitting . Also www.air-way.com sells fittings w/a replaceable o-ring if you or anyone else wants to do something different in the future ?

Conventional camshaft and lifters ; the camchaft lobe is not '' level " . One edge is taller than the other and the lifter foot "bottom" has a convex . These features will help the lifter to spin and slow down wear . ANY imperfections on the bottom of the lifter means to replace the lifter and install w/cam & lifter lube . Roller lifter camshafts have perfect height of the cam lobe and the foller on the lobe . This lobe needs to be ferfect to help keep the lifter in alignment . You cannot mismatch these components .

It is a hokey-pokey setup . You live with it or you fix it .

Huh ?

You can install a longer vent hose , loop it and install a plastic fuel filter in the end of the vent hose to keep any nasty stuff out of the differential . AND , make some studs to maintain good alignment when you reinstall the differential to the front axle housing . You don't want to drop the F-bomb discovering smeared sealant after you get it back together .

It can be done .......It will be a MammyTamper to do .

Make sure the vent is clear . Use a good brand u-joint w/grease fittings . I would use a great brand of sealer on the install .

What are you doing to the differential ?

Perfect

We have been discussing cap reforming at work for about 6 mos. (at first I thought this was a bunch of ____) . If a Freq ( Variable Frequency Drive )drive sits for more than 3 mos. , this procedure needs to be performed or you can have LOUD firecrackers in the Freq Drive . If you have ever seen a exploded cap it is ugly . I'm not sure what types , style or size this is limited to . Google or YouTube this procedure for more info . p.s. you can check them w/a meter and they can test good but when you put them in service , POW !

Is it ok to discuss "reforming" & or replacing caps on this topic ?

Al , I just ordered some from Waytek . Pretty good price . 50 min ea. # is the only drawback . www.corsa-technic.com is a good place too

You will see once you use the weatherstrip adhesive . 3M is the brand . And the bolt threads is where it goes . You can use a dab of hi-temp grease on the pushrod tip .

If you do anything , wire brush the bolt threads , clean with brake cleaner , dry and apply a small amount of weatherstrip ( none on the first few threads ) adhesive to the threads , allow to dry and install . A strip about 10mm wide around the threads . This will act as an adhesive. I apply a dri-film graphite spray to clean /dry clutch splines to prevent rust and allow smooth operation . The dry graphite does not ge on the clutch or flywheel surfaces

That is what the Dyy Film Graphite Spray is for .

What type of plier / tool is used to crimp these terminals ?

Merry Christmas from W. Ky .

It's good to hear from you
