Yeah that would do it!
I checked the diaphrams by pushing the slide up, then licking my thumb,(eww, carb cleaner!) sealed the oval inlet in the bell, and released the slide. they both fell very slowly. thats what I want, rite?
then checked the slides again, same method, They fell like I didnt plug the oval hole. I took the tops off to make sure I had the 'notch' in the rite place, and I didnt twist the rubber, put it back together, and still slides fell quickly.
I ordered new clutch plates...the old ones are thicker by .04 . I measuered in three separate places, and thats the average...Whats the deal with the thinner clutches? will it be fine? I also got the upgraded clutch springs from mikes. John says start off using three old, and three new. I will.
Drive plates. My drive plates are really discolored. Im sure that they get plenty hot down there, bathing in that oil, but, 3 outta 5 is dark brown, and in some places, show purple. ARe they OK? Also, when I put them on a piece of glass, 4 of the five are flat. cant 'rock them at all, but the 5th has a very slight wiggle. what do you guys make of this?
And I got a Hi-perf ciol(not the green one, the one that kinda looks stock). I was unsure about the what caps to get , so I went with the 5k resistor, and the black silycone wires. ARe these the rite caps? Do I just screw the wires onto the threaded posts(kinda look like the pionted end of a wood screw), while trying to keep contact with the actual wire in the wire with the coil contacts?
- good idea to keep the coil as cool as possible[/QUOTE- while the membrane is out i would still check it against a light
