    Seems to have worked, now the question is???????does it fly???????

    I know Bob's problem, and the one for the Impala might suit him better. When you have more to stop, don't you need a bigger cylinder? or it may be cheaper to get a smaller cylinder on the seat???????

    When you have a leakage between any gasket, but especially the head gasket (due to high pressure from the cylinders) you will have deposits in between the mating surfaces. Torquing may make it better for a little while but will not really solve the problem now created. You need to not only replace the gasket but also check the head for plane to make sure it hasn't warped, even just a little.

    And here I always thought that castor refered to oil and chamber was where you did the oil change. Now I'm all confused and have to go look at my scoot before I put it back together, to make sure I got everything lined up right for the castor to get into the chamber right at the back wheel. And now how exactly do you swing your arm in this process? Up and down, forward and backward or just round in a circle. And when you're all done do you really need to bolt, I'm getting a little old you see, or would a fast walk be sufficient.

    Sorry to hear about your loss, but hopefully he has gained much. We must always be ready for the GREAT Meet & Greet.

    Loosen the 4 bolts that hold the fender on at the forks, adjust the fender where it needs to be, and then while holding it, tighten the bolts. Also check the bolts that hold the fender extention on, don't just look at them but actually tighten them, fender extentions and car tires don't mix well.

    Now what really would pass the test, is if you knew if it runs forwards or backwards, and if it's the same on a first gen as the second gen, or do they run in opposite directions??????? Carl, I'm not sure, as I haven't had the cover off while motors runnin', but I'm sure it's AROUND IN A CIRCLE!!!!:rotf: Sorry Carl, just couldn't help it!! It's raining cats and dogs, tired of this weather, can't finish cleaning motor while it's raining outside (re: Dragonslayers reply to my question in his post on "Getting motor ready for show" I think). GO ahead and get me for this, I deserve it! Seriously, when I take covers off to do my waterpump rebuild whilst I have the rest of the dang thing torn apart, I will do my best to answer this age old question. INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW! Best of luck, Dan

    By the last look on his face as he looked back, I'd say he was not done yet for the day, he was going again, so I watched it again, and so what if you posted it again, maybe we'll watch it some more. Thanks

    Well here you go, we getting so downright bored we have to ask questions and then answer them ourselves, almost. Rocket, you are right. What had me concerned is that I'm used to seeing a drain hole in the top of the head. There are little dams built all over the place and sure enough, the oil flows back into the cam chain recess. This also keeps the valve lifters flooded with oil, which makes sense I guess. Thanks for the help guys, when I come up with a real difficult one, I'll post some more. In the meantime, which way does the waterpump turn?????????:think:
  10. Marcarl
    Yep, put the pumpkin behind something solid and give the shaft a jerk.
  11. Marcarl
    That's what we do to you if you behave, so now be nice and some Mod will step in to screw it all back inplace I'm sure.:rotf:
  12. Marcarl
    So the oil get pumped up to the cams and then drips off onto the heads, but where does it go from there???????? I am quite used to looking at automotive heads and there are drain holes to get the oil back into the pan, but I can't seem to find any on a first gen. The reason I'm asking this, is that when I was doing the tappet adjustment, one side of the head was full of oil, so how come, it just can't keep pumping it up there with no place to drain it away. An inquiring mind needs an answer.

    Looks to me like he was thinking: Now why would anyone want to ride this, when the could be riding a VENTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  14. Marcarl
    Another area of concern would be your motor mounts and frame bolts. When I went to remove my engine last fall I found all of them to be somewhat loose, not so loose as to be able to fall off or get lost, but loose enough to cause some play, and it wouldn't take much much for the scoot to notice that and start playing with you at 100 mph.
  15. Marcarl
    I would be checking the 'final gear case splines'. Mostly these have been run dry and then are worn. This could give you the noise and some of the backlash you are speaking of. Just remove the back wheel and pronto, they are there.

    Here we go again, a whole thread of 'know it all's' and in the end I'll just have to put everybody straight. Keep up the banter though, everytime I read a recipe I learn something new that I can then share with those who already think that MY ribs are the best:think:.

    Ok, upon further reflection and deeper digging into the site I came across this site: http://trilliumtours.com/index.html. Not that I'm that interested in someone guiding me around my home province, but for someone from out of town, this might be a serious consideration. Seems by the type on their site, that they are interested in pleasing the customer and have some real nice tours planned. Now sites like that I would call a MotorCycle site. I guess it's not all bad, just had to get past the GOV\ON.

    Try opening up the throttle plate on #4, if it is closed, it will draw very heavy, so is out of adjustment and the reason your doing a sync.

    Well I thought, now we got it together, we got a real honest to goodness motorcycle site that sets up some good rides in Ontario. Should have known it was the government that put it together. They just copied all the info from another part of the government site. Nothing special related to riding at all. Road maps are standard, places to visit are shown only for those who paid to have themselves advertised, nothing different than the brochures we get in the mail every year, other than the word MOTORCYCLE. I'm really kind of disappointed. Hi-lighted scenic routes, places to stay, and places to eat would have been more up my alley. What a bummer, more tax dollars down the poop shoot.

    Don't you have work to do or something????????
  22. Marcarl
    Thanks Don, but I quite sure that our local Bob will have one close handie. but if not, I'll keep you in mind.
  23. Marcarl
    What????????you were born to??????????????:rotf:
  24. Marcarl
    Ah now you tell me, you're taking all the fun out of it for Wayne, he doesn't know where anything goes, but then neither do I. Know one thing though, I'll be a lot sooner where I was later before.
