Re: I need a carb that doesn't make me question my sanity

My carb experience with 74" mag fired kick only shovel:

Dual mikuni VM34s - I didn't like this setup to keep it more than a thousand or so miles. Constant tinkering, like an adjustment at every...

Thanks for the replies fellas. I got the heads pulled last night and here's what I found:

Re: very odd issue with fxs not responding to throttle

I doubt it's the oil in the primary - if there was a condition where the plates were sticking the bike would likely lurch w the clutch pulled in and would be difficult to shift.

Plugs probably...

Re: very odd issue with fxs not responding to throttle

I had a similar issue - bike ran fine but would break up under throttle. Was unusual because it was fine and then the problem appeared - traced it to a loose ground. Was making enough power to keep...

Re: Front end fork stop question

Just need to drill and tap your lower tree for the second piece. You'll want to remove the stem if you can.

Re: making a brake anchor tab for juice drum

That's the standard way of fabbing a mechanical axle plate to work well w the juice....you'll probably need to fab a spacer to fit between the anchor stud and backing plate.

Re: My Shovelhead is ticking when NOT running

Ya sounds like the valve is hanging up when it's opening and ticking as it slowly closes back up.

Hydraulic or solid lifters?

Re: Shovelhead and primary belts - part deux of the story

Certainly sounds like a shim issue to me...

I had to use shims trans to plate as well as plate to frame to get it to sit square.

Motor required some too...

What are you shimming with?

Re: Springer rocker slop fix?

To clarify, the bronze bushings in the rockers themselves and the pivot fit is acceptable. Those don't have any excessive slop - it's the holes in the bottom of each leg lug that have worn.

Re: 4 speed kicker gear issue

Re: Springer rocker slop fix?

That is an idea I also entertained - but I'm afraid I may be a bit too limited on material at the lug to drill for a sleeve. Going oversize to 5/8" from 1/2" is probably the most I'd feel safe...

Re: Springer rocker slop fix?

So I went out back and pulled the springer apart. The rocker pivots are not threaded - there is a shoulder that simply slips into a 9/16" hole at the lug. The fit is pretty sloppy:

Re: Springer rocker slop fix?

This particular springer uses bronze bushings in the rockers. When I had this apart last year the bushings felt tight and I have only put a couple hundred miles on it since. Either way I can press...
