I was reassembling my '75 top end and one of the bolts got about 10 ft lbs before it let go.. I thought i stripped the head but was just the bolt its one of the four bolts on top that thread into the head, can I find these at homedepot or lowes? their metric section is usually pretty limited...

going to try to find a 1 53/64" plug today, i assume you remove the starter seal right? i tried removing the seal last night but it's very tight, i don't wanna ruin it if i still need it for the freeze plug

Stafford motor speedway swap 6-26 stafford, ct $8 to get in. i heard the last one sucked but it's something to do

tried to search already. when hitting different speeds my drive chain sounds like it starts bouncing around and making a really annoying noise, as if it were lose.. i have it pretty tight, it can move it up and down about 1/2". there no tight spots, chain and both sprockets are new, maybe 100...

i want to weld some new pipes and a tab for a kickstand.. i would disconnect frame ground wires, spark plug wires, battery, etc. not to fry electronics but should a pamco be completely removed from the engine? if no one knows i will take it out but it would be nice to keep my timing where it is

looking for the clutch lever that drives in the push rod. i do not need the housing. for a '78, not sure if they ever changed

lets vote to have a sticky thread that reads "ATTN NEW MEMBERS - use the search menu before asking a question" not to be a dick, but so many questions are asked every day that have been answered with pages and pages of information...

just saw one for sale locally.. a new bike with a classic look, pretty nice. triumph tried to make a new twin but the w650 blows it out of the water.

i have the steering lock that sticks out the side of the head tube and would like to cut it off. i don't have a key for it and i want to mount my headlight closer to the frame but it's in the way. if i cut it off flush with the frame what's behind it? will i have a huge hole left? anyone else...

My outer alternator brush was worn just below 3/8" and my bike wasn't charging. While inspecting the brush length the solder broke, holding the wire to the mount. i begin to solder it back on and realize i can solder the wire short of where it originally attached, letting the brush extend...

over the weekend i built the $6 rectifier for a '78.. took it out for a spin and while cruising at about 40mph the bike shuts off.. i check all the wires for loose connection, nothing. starts right back up. a couple minutes later the headlight gets dim (it was dark out) while riding at about...

here is how i bought it. first owner rode it for a while and almost crashed so he parked it in 1985. a few years ago his neighbor took it and got it running. he pretty much beat on it, riding it in the woods with one air filter missing.. i tore it down, surprisingly the cylinder walls were smooth

one of mine crumbled. mike's doesn't sell them and doesn't promise his will even fit the carb... haven't found anything i can use in a hardware store either

with the engine running i am getting consistent sparks between the points on my right cylinder but not for the left side. the left side only has a visible spark every few rotations. should i see a spark there? both plugs get a spark, timing is spot on, point gap is good, points cleaned with...

Been getting a lot of info from this board, now i finally have a question. This is a 78 standard with pod filters, straight pipes with large washer baffles bolted in. Left pipe is turning blue, right side is normal. Carbs have been cleaned, rejetted, mix screws set, needles at 3rd slot...
