Harley don't help by using (and changing) random squiggles instead of something that would actually make sense 🙂 I sometimes think that motorcycle designers actively hate mechanics, and they draw sustenance from our tears.

I must say that you don't give up easy! With all the repairs you have done there shouldn't be much left to cause you trouble. I hope mine isn't that contrary when I finally dig into it.

This leak is the last thing that was wrong with it when I got it - anything else now is on me 🙂

You're right; I'd forgotten that. It did change sometime in 1980, so mine's a late '80 crank.

On the 79 do you time it on the line or dot....I tried to time using the line and would not start.so timed it off the dot and it starts.... using points ignition.
@ImminghamIronhead11 ай бұрын
79 is the line, but from late 1980 it was the dot; you may have a later crank. It's the middle one of the three, in both cases.
