It's funny a year after this I'd do the same thing and more independently with a 1985. I also used DC plastics with a zip tie. You can get giant vinyl stickers to recreate the black (in my case yellow) number plate on the side which makes it looks better. Putting the points under the flywheel is so dumb, makes it annoying to set.

so my hot water boiler wont quit firing unless i cut the power. It has 2 zone thermostats even if i set them at 50 degrees the boiler still continue to fire on and off and send heat out in the building/

After rewatching this I have found like in my shovel head the power wire goes to the bottom of the coil the bottom nut. And the top then goes to the points. Does it matter if that is reversed. Often thought it would be easier if I need to take the power off of the coil the coming from the battery. Would be easier to get to it the top and I was thinking of switching it. But I didn't know if that would cause any problems. 😉👋🏼

I have a E47 pump and it gave ground on the power stud and can't figure out why it has ground even with the all the wires unhooked

Why does the Harley 883 often lose ignition condition when it is turned on for 1 minute, suddenly it goes dead, I see the spark in the spark plug cable is gone, the ignition is turned off, it turns on again, it turns on again for a moment, the electricity goes off again, I have noticed that everything is normal, is the CDI dead in the middle or something, sir?

After the rebuild everything works as it should but I can't stop the leak from under the valve block plug. The Meyer parts list says there should be a 9/16 ID O-Ring to seal it. Originally I had the plug only moderately tight. It leaked around the O-Ring so I toghtened it a little more. Observe leak and repeat until the O-Ring squeezed out from under the nut. I tried again with a new O-Ring with the plug tighter on initial installation, but the same thing happened. What am I doing wrong? I made a soft aluminum washer, but it leaks. Now I've made a lead O-Ring which I'll try next. This is frustrating. And I don't see that anyone else has had the problem.

good question. riddle me this batmen. if a harley sportster sport fires both front spark plugs at the same time? which it must or all hell would break loose. why the hell does the coil terminal on the left run the plug lead to the right spark plug? and vise versa. just to confuse the shit out of us and waste HT cable I suspect

Do you have a link for the o rings inside the actual pump housing?

Thank you. I was all upset and mad af that I would need to call a technician to fix this. You showed me the release valve. I tried that. A minute later it turned right on. Thank you!

so you don't have to refill with oil the pump before to put it together . that's my only question , thanks.

Best e47 video I've seen based on the thorough and complete disassembly and rebuild of the complete unit.

Why not put the valve in a cordless drill, pull it and lap at speed?

Great video, my 47 stopped working and had a couple leaks, after watching this while doing it I got it done in a few hours. Only thing that was a bit of a pain was the seal for the ram, still got it done, cheers 🍻

Just watch this video you recommend for me, wow great job real how to detail. Question is there only one way the main gear for oilpump in gear box to go in. Or could you make a mistake and put that gear in the wrong way where it won't mesh with other gears, that are going to go above it

Came across your video. Thank you for posting. I have a 75 shovelhead. The whole top end is off, and I'm looking to split the right side case to reseal, because of a leak. Once I take points out and cam cover off. If I get the tool to remove pinion nut and gear. Do I have to do anything with the oil pump / gears to split the cases. Or once I remove pinion gear and hardware around cases, is it possible to split without touching the oil pump. I know i have to keep in mind what bolts come out of where on the cases and put back in the same order where they came from. Thanks hopefully you could answer that

Good video

Those viter washers where do you install them on the bottom bolts or on under the tranny case?

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🏍️👋🏼👋🏼

where do you put the screen ?

Rap I use paper clip bent in a U to hold the lifters and pull the block. if your replacing the cam a scuff on a lobe don't matter.

TDC mark is used for static timing. Some set it advance for stock shovels without twin plug heads. Advance static timing TDC mark at rear of the inspection plug hole. For twin plug head Shovels approx 5 degree retard ATDC as a more complete efficiant burn over the dome pistons. The 35 degree advance timing mark is the maximun you want your Harley at dynamicly timed at 2000 revs. I guess its for those without a dial timing gun?. I have a Crane Hi 4 ECU and dual plug heads a V thunder cam anCV 40 carb and free flow tapped turbo pipes. 1973 Harley FX Shovel. I set mine dynamicly to 5 degree retard ATDC. front cylinder comp stroke. Using That same lower TDC dot the front edge of the dot touches the front of the inspection hole. The rear of that dot touches the center of the hole. When i put a dial timing gun on it i get 25 degree advance. I could hunt more advance but it pulls right through the rev range no problem and its in the safe zone forr longevity.

I cannot thank you enough for this video and the immense help you've provided to not only get my generator operational again, but the knowledge you so readily shared. Thank you!!

Thank you!!

It’s not the screws it’s you. The cv40 used JIS SCREWS NOT PHILLIPS Japanese industrial standard check out vessels JIS screwdrivers

Nice explanation! Great display of info as well.

ir0nheads rule!!! 🤘😎🤘

Yeah , thanks for not showing the pump draining part, I got unit off the truck Iike you shown in video, I checked screens there clean good shape, 👍 I opened drain plug and that wasn't funny 😮 I got blasted in right shoulder in my coat darn it with hydraulic fluid , had bit pressure I did realize this, So now I got find out how get darn plow pick up shaft down release it too float mode

Bought a new Twin Fire II coil that comes in Dynatek 2000i set. Primary coils have good resistance, BUT secondary is 38.x kOhm. Verified with 2 new multimeters, one of them is Fluke. Is it a bad one???

I'm sorry bro.. but I just can't watch you anymore . You just went ahead and assembled this entire trans and NOT a DROP of assembly Lube my britha not a drop ?????????????? did you read somewhere that your supposed to put this together DRY ??????????????????????????????

Can we use third party RS232 programmer to do this? What device does this programmer show in Device Manager? I m just in a hurry as getting the kit might take quite a while as i m not in US

Thanks for posting. Always enjoy your videos.

How many psi normally oil pressure to harley evo? Because my harley high pressure

Yep I don't know much about setting squish area and things like that but. I hope to learn Thank you

Straight to the point, no-nonsense content as always.👌 I had to set my squish with soft lead solder (0.060” thick) which entailed a little more assembly since I don’t have access to a dial test indicator or a depth-mic. 👍

I enjoy watching all your Videos , Hope you had a good Xmas and new year Rap

Good shop practices=A, Processes=A, Economy of words= A. Well done

going to the dealer today and get my rebuild kit, thanks for the video 🤠

thanks this was a big help. Thanks for your time

Wow👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀

Top👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Super 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I have an electrical diagram but it doesn't seem to make sense to me, for example on the ignition coil, each coil has 4 wires on the connector to the coil but on the diagram there are only 2 wires in each coil.

Hello sir are you also familiar with Lexus 3uz engines?

Will this work with 83 fxsb 4 speed with primary belt ?

Wow that was a smart fix using a washer to push out the gear! I'm sure I would've wasted time and money buying new kicker gears when $1 washer solved the problem. Nice! Is this the transmission in your knucklehead now?

What type of oil filter do you use?

Silicone lube on the pistons and orings

What is the name or number of the tool you used to measure the socket?

I was looking at them should I get the metric or the SAE. Version
