Marcarl Posted January 24, 2008 #1 Posted January 24, 2008 Dicided that the time had come for the major operation. With a little help help from a friend (Wizard765) we removed the heart of the machine. Second gear was to be fixed!!! HuH? Where do you find second gear? Couldn't be that hard could it? Must be underneath,,,,,,,,, so let's turn this baby upside down on the workmate and start taking out those little round things,,,,,,,,, yep that works,,,,,,,, oh no what's all this,,,,,,, some forgot to drain the blood first?,,,,, nah just some left overs, thank goodness because you got to put that stuff back in again you know, otherwise it won't run so good,,,,,,,what did you do with all those little sewing up dudads,,,,,,,,,lets put them in separate baggies so we can tell wher they came from,,,,,,,,,,,,now lets see which baggie goes where,,,,,,,,,,,,oh it don't matter, they all fit soemwhere,,,,,,,,,,here, throw them in acoffee can,,,,,I hear that works real good,,,,,, ooooh,lala,,,,,,, we're supposed to make sense of all this?,,,,,,, let's put it back before we forget where it all goes,,,,,,,,,let's just take one more layer off, maybe it will be self explanitory,,,,,,,ya high hopes, now we got more stuff on the bench, how can we work on anything this way,,,,,,,,what's all these pookie looking things,,,,let's read the book,,,,oh that's the gears,, look we found them,,why didn't they mark which ones were second, they all look first to me,,,,,,,,maybe there is another layer that's why they call it second,,,,,I always wondered,,,,,no we did it,,,, they all slid off just like that,,,,,,,,,,did you take a picture to see which one goes on first,,,,,there must be a forward and backwards,,,,,someone posted that he turned it around and it worked just fine,,,,,,,,,,ya but that was the washer not the whole motor,,,,, you don't think it will work the same,,,,,,,after you're done with it you'll need more coffee cans,,,,,,,,just think of all the help I can be to others who are missing parts,,,,might just have the right one left over,, I know, enough of all this, you want pictures RIGHT? First 2 rows are Scamper, or what's left of him. Last three pic, are Goldie undergoing a facelift.
Squidley Posted January 24, 2008 #3 Posted January 24, 2008 Carl, I do miss your story telling, had me laughing the whole time Your a good fit here and I'm sure glad that you stick around. You actually looked like a mechanic sort with your coveralls on....whoda thunkd it
Guest KitCarson Posted January 24, 2008 #4 Posted January 24, 2008 Your in trouble now!!! When you get done just donate all the left over parts to Squidley......he can sell them for upgrades to the G2.
Guest Swifty Posted January 24, 2008 #5 Posted January 24, 2008 ...jeepers, talk about letting a butcher have at your bike!! I predict its only going to be hamburger meat when you're done. Call me, I'll bring over the buns when you think its cooked for good.
Joopster55 Posted January 24, 2008 #6 Posted January 24, 2008 Carl, is this gonna be your new peppette making machine? And I thought I had a big problem not getting a saddle bag opened.
RoadKill Posted January 24, 2008 #7 Posted January 24, 2008 I admire your intestinal fortitude. NO WAY would I even attempt it. I did my clutch and swore I would never do anything with the Engine or drivetrain again
mraf Posted January 24, 2008 #9 Posted January 24, 2008 While your at it put in upgrade water pump impeller, rebuild clutch slave cylinder, put it all together and wave bye,bye to all 2nd gens!
dray Posted January 24, 2008 #10 Posted January 24, 2008 Carl what you done wrong was when you tryed to drain the blood you did not leave it hang in the cooler long enough Dray
bongobobny Posted January 24, 2008 #11 Posted January 24, 2008 Hey, are either one of those 2 ever going to run again?????
Marcarl Posted January 24, 2008 Author #12 Posted January 24, 2008 While your at it put in upgrade water pump impeller, rebuild clutch slave cylinder, put it all together and wave bye,bye to all 2nd gens! Did a lot of that last year, how do you think 2nd gear got muzted up.
Marcarl Posted January 24, 2008 Author #13 Posted January 24, 2008 may Scamper rest in pieces. Have faith my friend, come spring you'll need high octane just to be able to get to the coffee shop in time to see me leaving again. Scamper is resting now, but there are indications that a revival is in sight. Swifty should be here tomorrow with a coffee can if my predictions are anywhere's near correct, which often they're not.
Marcarl Posted January 24, 2008 Author #14 Posted January 24, 2008 Carl what you done wrong was when you tryed to drain the blood you did not leave it hang in the cooler long enough Dray I hunged 'im in the cooler for the weekend, but then the inspector showed up and told me to get that wild game out of there, so we put 'im back in the barn, fed 'im some hay and told him to leave Blondie alone, one little tike is enough.
Marcarl Posted January 24, 2008 Author #15 Posted January 24, 2008 Hey, are either one of those 2 ever going to run again????? Have no fear, it's all clear, Carl's here!!!!!!!
E-Fishin-C Posted January 24, 2008 #16 Posted January 24, 2008 Have no fear, it's all clear, Carl's here!!!!!!! Yah!!!.....Carl...The Meat Hacker..Did you use your meat cutting tools
Orrin Posted January 25, 2008 #17 Posted January 25, 2008 I got a crescent wrench and pliers. I'll bring 'em if you will let me help.
Marcarl Posted January 25, 2008 Author #18 Posted January 25, 2008 Yah!!!.....Carl...The Meat Hacker..Did you use your meat cutting tools Yep tried them first, but a 25 year old can be pretty tough, even though he's awfully handsome. Found that a friendly persuader and a long handled driver of screws worked wonders. The persuader was for the scoot and the driver to ward off and dogooders who would have done it the hard way. I got a crescent wrench and pliers. I'll bring 'em if you will let me help. If you think that it help any you'd be most welcome. The crescent wrench I use is a 15" so it hammers quite well, the pliers are of the old type and somewhat worn, so most of the screws and nuts are nicely round when they come out, makes it easy to hammer them back in with the crescent later, doesn't matter too much how long they are or how thick, they all look the same when you're done, real nice for making the scoot look slim and fast, if you know what I mean.
fixit3546 Posted January 26, 2008 #20 Posted January 26, 2008 looks a lot like mine did when mine looked like that...............
