Tearing down my 77 continues....

[pumps]

The tach I will install. The speedo will go into reserve. I have a set with an ignition switch and key that are not so hot in a box. I'll put my incorrect tach I'm taking off and the speedo from you with the set and sell the speedo and tach that are on there on ebay I suppose. It's 9PM and I've been going since 8AM. My ass is dragging.

Christmas in April! Santa mailman has brought me a gift. Well sort of...JC Whitney sent them. The adapters (per Pete's suggestion) came from O Reilly Auto parts for $5 or so.

those do look pretty sweet john! let me(us) know how the sound!

Yes those look nice on too. And the chrome seems to be of good quality. That 's what's on my silent so far 77

I'm betting, at least from the appearance, that the clutch push rod seal and this counter sprocket seal have been changed by a PO.

New 17 tooth

Better get off my lazy ass. But business is keeping me busy! Can't turn down money. AAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!

Sundie, you've mentioned "class 6" bolts in a few of your posts. I've been around metric bolts for quite a while, and never heard of them. Do you mind filling us in on that one?

here is a guide to grading

I have the right side cover off, clutch removed and am investigating my starter bendix gear etc. I think from looking at removed parts they are all there? Why the split washer?

here's the same shot from an 81

This went back together and worked great after a clip squeeze and removing the chunks of drive cushion spring hanging out there. I think xsjohn talked about leaving out the big spring or reshaping it so it did not restrict the full engagement of the gear teeth?

Maybe here is his post you speak of.. I miss xsjohn. A wit and a wealth of XS knowledge. I hope my ol' lady doesn't catch me using my greasy paws on her camera!

- not leaking?-dont touch it


- could make something like this

- and run the cable so

- you mean the sprocket lock washer?-probably been reused after replacing the sprocket


- could be chain lubricant thats been thrown off the chain or oil from the seal behind the sprocket or from the shift shaft or from the push rod seal-clean and run, youll soon find out
- behind the cover are the starter reduction gears and seal

If your running the 18 tooth sprocket is it necessary to make something like how you did or would running the sprocket without it ok?

its ok to run with out it just make sure to keep up your chain tension as it will start to rattle on the shift shaft if too loose. i just used the rubber off of my kickstart haha
