I dropped a chain and cracked the cover from the clutch threads to the back of the case... so I need a new-to-me one. I'm in Fairfield, CT and would love to pick one up from you as soon as I could. Thanks.

Thanks! You're the man.

Yup. I have the older version! Thanks Pete!:thumbsup:

Yup. Pin on the right. Pic wouldn't do anything, as it looks fine when it goes in. It just doesn't stay in place. It spins itself out!

Pamco Ignition. Pamco Advance.... Not the fault of either of these, but I can't keep the advance pin in place. It keeps popping out. I put it back in, it runs like a dream on the first kick. Glue? nail? What to do!? I want to ride this thing!:wtf::shrug::confused::banghead:

Ha, me neither... This is awesome, thanks Pete!

Put me on this list! I need a new advance unit since mine rattled loose and destroyed itself (I should have loctite'd it... d'oh). Thanks Pete!!!!

Pete, you are a funny man. Mvonwahlde is my name. Mike von Wahlde. I have no vanity plates. I hate them. So anyhow, I had it all hooked up and test run for charging back during the whole "first" go, before the top end started leaking oil like a sieve and it was fine. I didn't think it would be...

So I thought I had the triumphant second beginning to the riding part of this project--rebuilt top end, fixed clutch pushrod issues... got the engine back in and got the wires all back where they were... And I ran it around the neighborhood and while I know there are some jetting issues to...

Thanks. I do have a manual, a clymers, a Haynes and the factory one. I am trying to get this last part done quickly and wAs looking for triage help-- an order of things to check through in order of invasiveness. These manuals don't compare to a place like this for that kind of help. And that e...

Is that E-clip on the outside of the body of the engine, near the seal? Will it be visible? There does seem to be some play in the gear selector, but not at the spines (ie, not the lever on the spines). If I am playing then with the gear selector claw, is the adjustment essentially the same as...

I bet that is it. I'm a dolt. I don't remember putting a c-clip on it or it having a place for one. I'll look for an explosion and hopefully figure it out. Thanks. MVW

Hi all, I am at a last roadblock to riding this build, having tidied up all the other problems, at least I think... But now, after a top-end rebuild and a few miles of riding, I am stuck in neutral and cannot get up or get down. The engine kicks over in one or two kicks, and although it is...

Looks great. Great welds, but the name is cliche, no? Give a thing of beauty a proper name... Reminds me of old layback seatposts on the old GTs and Hutches. A year ago I ordered a David Bird hardtail since it reminded me of the trickstars and SE racing bikes... you are on to something sick.

I have a six inch stretch 2" drop, but that's because I'm 6'4" and it actually fits me with the seat well back...
