  1. Nice to see that if you just take a minute and analyze the situation, you can usually come up with the solution!
  2. Starting that already, eh Dan? :hihi: :sleigh:
  3. I have 2 motors in my garage (4bbl and a turbo) and a 65 2 door in the driveway. One of these days I plan on playing with them.
  4. Corvairs are a lot nicer looking, alternator is on the left side, carbs go in the heads in a different location and we don't need stacks! We just slap on a 4bbl or a turbo and go to town! PS..... that ones lacking a couple of cylinders........
  5. Hold down on the shifter as you're blipping the throttle, harder pressure at 1/3rd higher throttle and it should glide right in. Might take you some practice tho Carl, you know, that age thing.........
  6. Did that work on your noggin' too Jack?
  7. I'm thunkin' he was too drink to read aniting las' nite!
  8. Wow, good thing you don't live around me! Just did 575 miles last Sunday, 200 on Saturday as a tune-up!
  9. Has the synch been pre-set yet? If it's way off, it won't want to run at all. Pull the air box, and starting with #2 carb (LF) make sure the butterflies are closed all the way. #2 is controlled by the idle screw. The #1 (LR) is controlled by the synch screw between the carbs. Then go to the right side and set #3 to #4 with the rear screw between the carbs. When that is done, set those two to #2 with the front screw. Then you'll have to set the synch after it's running. Have you checked and replaced the plugs since you got it started? Let us know
  10. If he worked on the clutch or pulled the slave cylinder, then the rods could be stuck or as posted before the cover's not on right. I would also make sure the knuckles on the shifter arm and the relay arm behind the stator cover are pointed in the correct directions. If not, they could be keeping him from shifting.
  11. Ya didn't crack the floor, did ya??!!!!
  12. Rotor go back in OK Frank? Guess you got that puppy fired back up by now, huh. Let me know how that new starter clutch works for ya. Dano

    First Royale

    Yup, got an 87 Standard 2 tone blue in the stable right now!
  14. You need to synch the carbs too
  15. You sure it's an 82? Didn't come out till 83!
  16. Memorial Day weekend is graduation for my son, personally the 4th would be a better choice. I'd hate to miss another MD! Dano
  17. These bikes take a "slim" 18mm socket to get down in the well, I found that the Kobalt (Lowes) socket works perfectly for this situation.
  18. Look at the branding on the tire and see where it is manufactured in. Would be either Brasil or Germany.
  19. New sliders are available thru www.partshark.com for around 60 bucks, I think I'd spend the $$$$!
  20. Made it back a little after 8, if you watched the game you know I'm happy!!!! Thanks for meeting us and the lunch! 575 miles altogether, 14.8 gallons (+/-, started with a half tank that took me 70+ miles down to Exit 1 just inside Ohio) equals 38.8 mpg average. Not bad for hauling a 350 lb trailer 284 miles (sometimes at 70-75 mph) and VERY much WOT on the way back! I gotta tell you, those Cincinnati drivers don't pay attention to the speed limit very well! Did around 80 just to keep up with traffic!
  21. Hmm, "little ride",,,, Did 200 miles around town yesterday, which I did for you, Gary. Did 575 miles today going over to WV and back.
  22. When under extreme duress by liberal use of the right-wrist-twist technique, the oil rushes to the back of the sump, exposing the contacts for the oil switch and sending a ground to the CMU input and triggering the light. If it does it randomly, then the wire is chaffed somewhere and touching a grounding point.
  23. OK, sorry to hear that, we'll meet next time down the road somewhere.
  24. Just checkin' in here.... plans still good, I'll be meeting Buckshot and his crew in Athens, then over to you guys. looking forward to the trip, did 200 miles today around here just to get warmed up!!

    Be nice if they were 1/2" instead of 3/8ths.
