Harley Davidson Panhead Maintenance. Points+Timing+Pushrod Adjustment

[@ecrusch]

Man, I would LOVE to hang around with these guys. You'd learn so much just from watching.

[@vk7408]

very well filmed, narrated and explained!

[@houseofchoppers]

Thank you!

[@chadhamann8315]

This is exactly what I'm going through right now... I also have solid lifters and aluminum pushrods in a 48 pan shovel.

[@johno6193]

thanks for the video your the first one to mention that it has to be in full advance out of many videos that i watched just what i was looking for all the information nothing left out thanks

[@enginediy]

Cool Panhead 👍👍

[@houseofchoppers]

Thank you

[@chadhamann8315]

All In 17 minutes ...pretty good... I remember a little over 30 years ago when the first time I tried to do this it probably took me about an hour. I didn't trust myself so I kept retracing my steps...

[@ljgaines8170]

As far as I'm concerned best bike videos on KZbin

[@houseofchoppers]

Thanks Lj, trying to step it up in the near future and get some funner stuff for you guys to watch!

[@richardlewin9282]

[@markjensen7166]

Beautiful bike

[@levicoe662]

I have been trying to figure out how to get my dads panhead running without it blowing my leg off and all the old school guys I talk to not a single one has mentioned how to adjust your advance and retard this video is what I have been looking for thanks bro

Muy bien... Necesito video de como armar y lubricar cluoth. Estoy restaurando un dúo glide de 1958 no tengo el manual de reparación.

You set the timing mark on crank forward in the sight hole, but you said 1:00. Did you mean to say 11:00? My Pan head service manual says set mark to rear in hole, S&S instructions also. What would you think for my S&S pan head stroked motor? Q

[@houseofchoppers]

Yup my mistake I did mean 11 o clock. I typically set them a bit advanced. For a stroker motor you would probably want to be at 12 o clock or 11:30. the kickback from a big inch is brutal

@@houseofchoppers cool thanks

[@stephenalcorn8334]

I like that open primary setup you have there, I have an 83 shovel that I would like to convert from closed to this setup, can you lead me in the right direction on achieving this ? Thanks in advance

[@houseofchoppers]

Yah man! Easy switch for you there! Bdl sells the full kits to swap over! If you have a hard time finding one I could even ship one over!

Sheer porn for Harley lovers. I also learned something I didn't totally understand. In my home town, there was an old man who had a 48 or 49 Harley (with springer forks) and I remember him telling me (many years ago) that he had hydraulic lifters in his - so I assumed all the HD's of those model years had the same arrangement. Your video brought HD solid lifters to my attention. This video was well-filmed and explained. Made me feel like I was right there working on the bike myself...

[@houseofchoppers]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Muchas gracias

Soy Erides de panama le agradezco su cooperacion

[@Jeblick]

Nice! But I have one question: Do I need to remove the front cylinder head if I would like to demount the distributor? This would be bad because currently my Pan is running with an e-spark distributor but I would like to replace it with an original distributor which I bought. By the way: with this video it should be easy to set the points and get the Pan running... at the moment I don't know how to adjust the e-spark distributor and this is really annoying me :D

[@houseofchoppers]

Sorry for a late response, you don't usually have to pull the head, there's defiantly some maneuvering required but you should be able to work it out without tearing more off!

[@robertlust616]

All that and you didn't get it fired up?

[@charlesross1682]

why not convert over to electronic ig.

[@mourningsmile6882]

5:30 you never showed what you mean by 1 O’Clock 😢

[@3r4s]

This is a 49? timing mark should be at the right side of the window, just entering the window, not sure what you mean with at one o'clock. Otherwise nice vid.

[@harolddalesr8365]

I thought it was straight up. ?

[@3r4s]

@@harolddalesr8365 definitely not sir! 48-53(?) is different from later years. Not sure when centerline was introduced, thought it was 54 up. 49 is definitely right side of the window.

[@harolddalesr8365]

With the bike facing front. On the dizzy distributor side ?

[@harolddalesr8365]

Beware , flywheels can be changed out for various reasons.

[@3r4s]

@@harolddalesr8365 did I miss that it doesn’t have an original flywheel in the description or explanation? If so, sorry about that.
