Determination gets it. The cool part about old bikes is they don't take up much space and they're found in the oddest places. People put them away and forget about them. The next generation comes along and finds them. They made a lot of them. Time and determination. The things that cost a lot, just take longer. I know it's not easy. Wasn't easy for me. It took all I could lay my hands on every time. It still takes all I have to keep them running. But, it's a love thing. I'm really pleased that you enjoy our stuff. Thank You.

I finally took the carb off and made a block off plate and ran about 5/8 lbs of air pressure brought it up till all the valves were closed and soaped up the intake the o rings leaked like no tomorrow!!! i was running way too lean !!!!! I guess in the wreck they got screwed up my leg got burned BAD!! the bike must have ran a bit on its side or somthing i was knocked out and flying thru the air at the time ...

More importantly, the "people"(gotta be pc nowadays) with that wealth of knowledge aren't being hounded to pass it on to the up and comers. In '81 the flat-rate was $32/hr. Mechs got half. Obviously quality is down & new prices in outer space. People that can afford them now in general don't ride them much, not like years ago. Nobody has NOS for "The Silent Grey Fellow," I get that.

Haven't touched one in many years. The instructions that come with the rebuild kit are pretty goo. Only major problem with a Bendix is the throttle shaft, being steel, as I remember, erodes and the body wears out where the throttle shaft goes through. I you have, or access to, a lathe and make for yourself press in bushings, you could save a lot of those carburetors. Although they do have throttle shaft seals, it doesn't keep them from wearing out. Again, no reason you can't do it.

Do you have any videos on how to build or rebuild the throttle? I’ve got a 45 I’m putting together and the wire keeps falling out of the handle bar throttle.

I don't think I've shown it yet. When we get to it, I'll do it. Do you have a service manual? It does show it.

I love your videos! You make it so easy to follow along! Question: What’s the trick to removing the intake manifold from a 1960 Panhead? I got the clamps off. It rotates. Will it come off without removing the heads? All I want to do is clean it and replace the seals and clamps. Thanks!

Be very careful, but if you slice away the O-Rings, the manifold should slide right out.

mike , what's you take on O rings plus Bands , way back someone i watched used them . were they used on certain set ups ?
@pacificmike95013 жыл бұрын
O-ring heads and manifolds are machined for o-rings. Installed properly, I believe them to be the best. Long about 79, Harley stopped machining them with a groove in both head and manifold. At that point the seals became a rubber sleeve, more commonly referred to as "rubber bands." I definitely prefer o-ring style.

Watching Netflix’s Car Masters: Rust to Riches S1:E5 “Fran ‘N’ Bus” and I believe I spotted you at the bar during the episode… now we got a bet going in the house… was that you Mike?

Yes, it was. I hope someone won something good. Yes, the guy really had a "Leadwing."

Hey Mike, keep up the good work, you're the best! Just wondering, the rocker box covers, I've seen them on a lot of old choppers, who made these and why? Just wondered, thanks a bunch! Appreciate all you do!

They are cool. Custom Cycle Engineering made them many years ago and are producing them today.
