Put some pics up after the ride?

@bosco659 Large hole is 1.25" in dia. drilled to a depth you decide on. Small holes are .75" drilled to a depth you decide. All 3 holes centered on board. All dimensions are approximate. Adjust to suit your bike. The front dimensions will depend on the jack you use (roll your own). Season to...

Only during the straight an' level stuff.... 😁 There's a handful of videos back in this thread somewhere with me in the front hole doin' loops and rolls an' stuff.

Used to fly 'em. Can't pass a 3rd class anymore. Mechanic and avionics since '72. Air force, airlines, teacher and GA. I have a neighbor friend who owns a Decathlon and a Great Lakes, sooo... a bit of flying and mechanicin' there. About it though.

Applies to recip spark plugs also. I'm guessin' you have an aviation background. Care to share?

Yeah, should be.

Sure Vic. Gimmie a day or two.... and a reminder if I forget.

Guess I should be flogged.... poor ol' girl ain't had a proper bath since the resto. There, nice and clean now. Also pulled the sidestand off and stuck it in the orange beast.... took the factory(?) bend out of it. Now she sits about like she's supposed to. I'd already welded about 3/8"...

Can't answer your question, jus' marveling at his carb install job.... :whistle:

Forgot all about that nut having a shoulder... :doh:

Use a deep well socket to break it loose, then to retighten it when it's adjusted. With it recessed that much, I suspect either the little ball is missing or the worm is clucked wrong. Either way I'd pull that cover and do a little inspecting. It shouldn't be recessed that much.

Glad it fixed your charging problem!!

I hate when that happens. Tell Ben an' Kevin I said they're fired. :boxing: :laughing::laughing:
