Excellent video showing not being careful rebuilding that simple carb that has an excellent reputation. Diagnosed correctly and certainly makes the carb useless except for parts. If a guy wanted to chance it they might line it up using the float shaft and use J.B. Weld or Alum-Weld? but I sure wouldn't ride the bike across the country. Would have been nice to know what bike this is, guessing a Evo Softtail. Great Video.

Yep the JB weld is only a temporary fix. Usually when one post is bent the other is also so the float never aligns correctly and has tendency to hang up. It's a costly mistake. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching and ride safe

If you only use the special tools once, then get what you can afford; it's STILL cheaper than paying labor costs to have a mechanic do it. It's less than one hour labor's charge if you go to Harbor Freight. The race puller/installer is easy to use, and the pulley nut wrench is easy, as well. Well worth buying.

Hi I have a question I told you about my 2002 dyna wide glide with the signal lights not cancelling. Well I found a aftermarket module at dennis kirk, . part # 2102843, they tell me it will plug right into my harness. I have a key fob for my security system but have not used it in 22 years . my question is I should have to program it cause I never used it actually I took the battery out of the fob. I would appreciate a reply thanks very much.

@tinkeringwithharleysАй бұрын
That's not good, it could be a bent main shaft. But when a main shaft is bent it usually causes shifting problems or just blows the trans apart. I would start at the rear wheel, check for alignment, bearings, bent rim, bad axle, warped rotor, bend drive pulley, bad tire, swingarm bushings and make sure everything is tightened correctly. Check for bend frame or swingarm. Than start moving forward and check motor mounts. Hope this helps.

A little update with my Main Drive Gear outer bearing and seal. I cut a piece of pipe, ground down the threads and cut to an inch and a half length. This pipe fits in the 5th gear opening, and slides over the mainshaft. I slipped that to the bearing, put the belt sprocket nut on, slipped the sleeve on from the race installation tool. I put an 8 inch 3 jaw puller with the 3 jaws on the belt sprocket nut, and the thrust part on washers at the end of the race installation tool. I tightened the tool, pulling against the belt sprocket nut, that pushed the bearing into the main drive gear. That gave me clearance to install the oil seal. I used the race installation tool and tapped the seal lightly into place. Maybe the bearing will walk out again, we'll see. But everything turns smoothly.

Does the transmission usually have difficulty shifting when putting in a new pawl? I looked like it gave you some work. I ask because I replaced mine and went to test prior to torquing and buttoning up. Mine 95 Evo tranny seems to have difficulty floating through the gears. Any suggestions? FYI the eccentric screw that is on this bike isn't the right one looking at it from the inner prime. Instead of an Allen it's a 1/4" drive head. The screw goes in fine and has the offset machined point. Any advice greatly appreciated

But as long as it goes through all the gears up and down it's usually fine. Remember that when the bike is running the trans spins much faster than it does by hand.

Hey there!! I hope all is well by you!! I have my 85 FXRS all apart (well inner primary off!) Tapered and keyed mainshaft. I am trying to get my 5th gear seal in. It looks like there is not enough room in the recess to seat the 5th gear seal. I did that trick you showed loosening the nut on the other side of the shaft and tapping it to be able to put the race puller on the race. Tightened it hand tight, I know it gets torqued 27-33 foot pounds, tapped the shaft back. My problem is I can't get the 5th gear seal to seat. Just checking, the seal seats with the metal side out ? Is there a chance the bearing walked out to take away room for the 5th gear seal? Is there a way to tap them back or the shaft to get more room in there? The old seal was just hanging when I removed the race. Thanks !
@tinkeringwithharleysАй бұрын
Sorry to hear your having a problem, removing and replacing the 5th gear seal on the bike is a giant pain in the ass. If the old 5th gear seal was hanging out when you took it apart chances are the bearing itself is not seated and has walked out and pushed the 5th gear seal out. If this is the case the bearing is shot and needs to be replaced. There is no way to seat the bearing while the gear set is in the trans. This is a very unusual condition. This usually only happens when the bearings have been replaced and haven't been properly installed. But from what you've told me that's what it sounds like. I wish I had something more positive to tell you, but that's the only time I've seen this happen. Hope this helps.
