Will it turn either way?

On the left side of the engine there should be a cover for the stator, in the middle of that cover should be a large chrome srewcap, (flat head). Take out that screw cap behind it will be a nut. That nut is on the end of the crank shaft. See if the engine will turn over by turning the nut. With the plugs out it should turn easy. No gasket needed, it has a rubber seal.

Stick around, you never know what might be beneficial down the road and who you can help.

That stator looks a little toasty!!

Pm Saddlebum, he might have one

You could call.

He now sits on the throne, there none else but Him.

Works fine from here.

My 85 now gone and my present ride, when and if I ride.

There are days I think I would like to take the 85 out for a rip, but then when I go look for where I left it, it's not there,, it seems to be gone,, left,, disappeared...................

I could only dream of a scoot at 33, and then only maybe. Just had the last of 6 kids that needed guidance.

Evan made in Canada, wow!

How is it supposed to work? Any instructions so I can through them away first?

Yahhhh, I don't visit as much as I used to, but I still love the site for what it gives us,, well at least some of us. Thanks for keeping it going Don.

Got the Spyder up 4sale, does that tell yah what you're asking?

Not likely to work. The bolts have shoulders on them that only allow the bolts to be threaded in sooo far. Pull one out to see it.

I think @saddlebum was finding it a bit cool to ride 'is 'orse, so he probably opened the door a bit to warm things up by letting some cold out. Maybe he could close it now, after his nap is done.

Do an oil change with the correct viscosity. Dont use reg type oil, use diesel type or full synthetic.

it might if it wasn't diluted.

Nah, 1 can. Warm and cool engine 4 times to get the cleaner to soak.

Changing the brake lines to stainless steel braided will make a huge difference.

Grab a small cable, the size of the battery cable or so, clamp it onto the load side (starter) of the relay and then touch the other side of the relay. If there is no response touch it to the battery. Don't matter if the key is off or on. Report back.

I might throw a blanket over it to give it a warm feeling, fill the gas tank so it don't die from starvation and then park it in a corner so it harder to run away. That's it.
