    You don't need to remove the clutch slave.... I had the same problem when I rebuilt all the masters on the '83 when I first bought it. One of the allen heads busted off when R&Ring. Just remove the banjo fitting and that's it. If the threads are stripped there are several ways to repair once you have the engine out. If the Allen head's busted off I just drilled the head of mine off and pulled the slave. Then took a stud remover and got the rest of the screw out. All much easier when the engine is stitting on the bench.

    Ran into this auction in Woodland, just north of Sacramento. Apparently these can not be retailed in California, so it might keep the bidding down?? SCOOTERS

    I keep the Snap-On's in the roll-away, but for the bike kits I've been using Harbor Freight tools. Lately HB has been putting out some pretty nice tools for a third what Craftsmans would run. We don't even want to talk about Snap-On's... For a hundred bucks you can build a pretty nice metric set to stow on the bike and still have left overs. The only specialty tools you will need is for spark plug removal. What I've done is pick up a few 2ndGen tool kits off Ebay for the basics, because you can pick them up fairly cheap, and then add sockets and combos that you'll need. Works....

    Thanks for the info Brian. Looks like the kilo '84's were also the only year for the rotating choke control.

    Never heard the term 'bird-dog' before, but I'm real familiar with the term 'spiff'......

    What type of choke lever do you have? From the pics it looks like it might be the one that rotates in front of the left grip. I tried to blow up your pic but it fell apart and couldn't get a clear peek. The reason I'm asking is the bike might be an '84???? Or maybe Canadian '85's had the rotating lever instead of the slider under the hi'lo beam switch?? In the US the only model that came out with the rotating type choke.. in front of the grip.. were the '84's.

    My bad...I'm not doing to good today. What threw me was your saying the tab will work it's way out of the slot and allow the cover to rise. The only way that can happen is if the rear screw is loose, or the whole rear tab is busted off, and the cover slides forward. If it's intact the front tab will rattle around a bit, but should never come all the way out. I'd ask one of these salvers on Ebay and ask them if they have one of those gromets. It's generally left in the frame, and if it's taken out most of these guys haven't got a clue what it's for if they lay it down somewhere....

    Heck, at first I thought it was the one up in the carb linkage. I can see where #33 might be part of the whole return spring scheme, and if that's the one you're missing....there you go. Or are you actually missing a spring, or just wondering about the lack of one being listed in the carb schematics??? Only you know for sure which one you need. I don't....

    Boy, was I wrong and looking in the wrong place. For $4.27 I'd go ahead and pick one up....

    You not only need the washer but you'll need the compression sleeve. I suspect the reason your gromet is in such bad shape is you're compressing it to tighten the screw... probbly with a large washer on top and not getting it really tight. The sleeve will let you tighten down on the screw and keep it from squashing the gromet. The sleeve just slides inside the gromet and will easily sprout legs if not watched carefully.

    I'm wondering??? If the sync is way off, and perhaps if one butterfly were open more than usual, would adjusting the idle screw be beneficial on that one carb. Wouldn't it be better to sync first and then adjust, and then maybe re-sync??? I can see the value of highest vacume at idle, to adjust the idle screws, but wonder if it does any good on a set that is way out of sync. Or am I missing something here??

    Going in Wednesday to get my Carpal stitches out. This is my second Carpal. The right hand was really bad and had it done last year. Took about 2 weeks before I could type again, and almost a year before I could twist the top off the pickle jar. This time around, with the left, I was one finger typing in 2 days and typing with all fingers in 4. It's been nearly 2 weeks now, and the wrist is almost pain free. So.... I hope your left will be like my left. BTW the operation took all of 20 minutes

    Wish it were that simple around here... I can think of at least a dozen reasons to not renew a reg in any given year and none of them should be illegal. Nothing eligal about not registering a vehicle, but late fees will continue to pile up until you do.....

    I hope you can iron out the insurance details. Years ago the neighbors oak tree fell on my sailboat which I had on a trailer in the back yard. Because it wasn't in a marina and secured in the back yard I let the insurance lapse. When I called my agent she explained that the boat wasn't covered under the property insurance because it was a vehicle and required it's own insurance. The neighbor's insurance wouldn't cover it because it was an 'Act of God'. Your bikes may fall under negligence. I hope they are.

    Here in California if a bike has no activity for 7 years it falls out of the system, but over that 7 years it can accumulate a ton of fees and fines for non renewal of registration. That's one of the big reasons sellers conviently lose the title, and they end up 'parts' bikes. The sad thing is all the owner had to do was non-op the bike instead of ignoring the renewal notices. All a non-op cost is $10 bucks and lasts forever. I've looked at a few 1stGens that have been sitting and the DMV fines, plus a couple of hundred asking bucks, were way more than the thing was worth. So the asking wasn't any deal at all... I did luck out on one bike that hadn't been renewed for a couple of years. The guy had never completed the name change from the previous, but had paid the transfer fees, which remained on account until I went down to get the bike in my name. Expected a $250 dollar DMV fee and ended up paying $60 bucks. WOOT!! I looked into using one of those companies that washed titles but the fees were on the high side, and they only went back 10 years..or so...
