Wildfire | PART 2 | 1965 Harley-Davidson Survivor Chopper First Start in 20 Years

[@GinosCycleCenterPhiladelphia]

Thanks for the memories. I built that back in 1973. Did you find my "G" or my 3/4 socket? That bike has history, miles, stories only me and Wildfire know... there is a reason for the name..

[@rustymacneil3227]

Cool ride. My right knee went into convulsions when she kicked back Memories of my '65 XLCH with a Hunt mag.

[@markjulianoriginalhooli2217]

No s**t I destroyed my right knee on a 73 XLCH when the rachet gear took a dump

[@TaylorHomeCare]

I love this, the real true life of working on bikes. I was 18 in 09. Bought a xlch my dad got kickback, never ever kicked it again lmao.

[@briankimmell7960]

You sir, are a National Treasure. Thank you for your service.

[@richardashwood5771]

Back in the day I had Sportster leg so bad that when I would walk into a tavern people would ask me what year XLCH I was riding. It made my leg hurt just watching your Shovel kick back on you. Nice looking bike you have there.

[@qwerty1732]

Gotta clean the tank more. When you think it’s clean, do it again. Then 2 more times after that and coat the inside. Ultrasonic clean the carb too. Thorough work and patience is the only way. Sick bike. Ol gal needs to major lovin

[@ronaldcooper7609]

After adjusting hydraulic pushrods on one cylinder, you must wait until the lifters bleed down before you turn engine for adjustment of other cylinder. The rods can bend if you don't.

[@joalvarez6252]

Music to my ears compadres!

[@Mr39knuck]

With a magneto you need to spin the motor. Start your kick just past TDC. Works much better. Nice motor on this sled.

[@Anuskasv0]

Cool chop, love those molded flames.

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Great old chopper !

[@eeriealex]

I’m here for the slip ons! Cheers boys, always look forward to your videos and updates at the shop.

[@michaelspicer1236]

Nice work out of you fellers, getting ole Wild fire upnand running again! Looking forward to any updates on her. Ride on!

[@peterjuhaszdoner8051]

i love these rescues keep up the amazing work

[@randymarks4011]

I have several shovels and ironheads, usually buy them DOA, everything is suspect so I tear em down to the crankpin and build em back up. heard noises in your vid, either broken valve spring or grenaded rollers on lifter.

[@ecrusch]

I think you've got a lot more to do on that project. BUT, it started.....and that's a win.

[@steve5425]

That bike is so cool just the way it is 🤘😎

[@bobbyboston9155]

Just went through a similar issue with my 68 ironhead. Finally pull the cam gears and and retimed oil pump and and cams and bingo. After years of fighting this thing it was cam timing and oil pump breather all along. Cool bike and cool video.

[@dannydiekman9833]

So funny old trouble head what great bike

[@joshuakochendarfer9437]

I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@coryleistjr5034]

I LIKE YOUR TIGHT PANTS, SHOES, AND OLD MOTORCYCLES. I ALSO LIKE THE NO FRONT FENDER IN THE RAIN, MAKES YOU WAY COOLER. DONT LET THE HATERS HATE. #RIDETUFF

[@bearcingetorix6326]

They can hate all they want- it's their hell, not ours.

[@whitegeorgefloyd]

Ayyeee Larry Bird helped with this build that’s awesome !

[@noggles]

very good video

[@raymondladue1140]

Well I've learned one thing after Owen and Pan heads and shovel heads that when you kick start them and you kick that pedal down hold it down do not let it come backup hold it down and it will be a whole lot easier on your knee

[@anncannon1797]

Great video⚡👍 And one hellava Rightous Shovel⚡⚡👍 FTW⚡⚡

[@sethstarling3629]

Love the videos guys! I’m from Winston Salem I’m hoping to come out to the next congregation show. Keep the videos coming!

[@demon39063]

really need to get me a chopper build going. never know where the best place to start is

[@sidtangerine]

D-Wayne the Giver of Life

[@RustinRoberts]

Nice work. Thank Paint work is crazy haha

[@garytallard2321]

Add led substa toot helps lifters cool video

[@ifrainjimenez8857]

Kick ass guyz 👍

[@shredabong]

Absolute beaut

[@michaelmiller9966]

Great job guys- enjoy the vids

[@godfellas483]

Should have watched a few shovelhead videos before trying to start it. Clean the plugs, and set the timing before you try to start it. If you straddle the bike. you'll be less likely to slip off the kick starter. The kick starter needs to be re clocked also.

[@stinde666]

Sweet ride 😍

[@L0U0C0A00]

love it! good work

[@cheastbury9252]

I love you guys ! Buy and fix old bike more or make more videos!!

[@nathanielgoodwin8622]

Very Nice...

[@alicesrustychains6767]

Red touque looks like his boyfriends still on his top lip that’s literally a flavour savour hahaha🤘🏻💯🤘🏻

[@randymarks4011]

sounded like a single cylinder V twin

[@johnvargo5538]

Good job fellas , it should get better the more you ride it ?

[@alpatriot6227]

Sweet!

[@Beardsandbars]

I randomly came across your channel. Great stuff and it looks like yall are in Charlotte… If so, id love to check out your shop sometime!

[@PrismSupply]

Come on by!

[@Rhysmoreton]

Bike is killer. Glad it's running,. Question: What fuel tap is that? did I see 4Q on it? looks slick.

[@juniorjr.8313]

3:08 Your turn.... 😂

[@rockers2rockers616]

Instead of using sandpaper to 'clean' sparkplugs use a blow torch and burrn away oil and carbon. This is a much better method..

[@alangerrard3548]

Hi guys. When you were kicking it over there it seems kinda sluggish. Is the clutch ok, not dragging? Love to see the old bikes though. Keep it up.

[@scottmclelland9728]

I luv D-Wayne

[@PrismSupply]

D-Wayne luvs you!

[@carlhadaway5292]

Very cool fellas, I enjoyed the video, don't worry about who likes your shoes or riding with no front fender, if people want to comment about shit like that they should go elsewhere.

[@bkleck1]

reminds me of kicking my pan with a mag, LOL

[@vorhese]

Gotta clean those babies now that NGK isn't making a lot of plugs anymore.

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Tatro machine would know whats wrong with that pile....

[@choppularmechanics]

Boot to the Kool...

[@bigpowerhouse11]

I use a map torch and a wire brush for my plugs. Get them bitches hot to burn off carbon and oil then brush them while they're cooling down🤙🏻

[@paulseabrook8179]

Not sure but don't Shovels have 3 different length push rods

[@jerrybigrig9475]

Why us the front cylinder not hot ..bad plug,wire,points..??

[@phillipmain6475]

Didn't the shovelhead start production in 1966?

[@jamesl9580]

Collab with Max Schaaf on that petcock? 👀

[@donaldconnolly220]

the cadmium coating on the plugs is one half a thousanth thick.....not like a airplane plug.....

[@warrensykes193]

How much?

[@javiersalido8073]

Wiiiiild

[@blackbearbear9313]

Don't forget the seat it need fixed

[@chrisgipp8845]

[@dannydiekman9833]

Either would help

[@wolfeyes9357]

Adjust the Fn Timing

[@wolfeyes9357]

Timing

[@wolfeyes9357]

Push rods bent because they were too tight!!!!!

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

[@garytallard2321]

Get a used treadmill keep it in the shop tie the motorcycle down to it turn the treadmill on high dump the clutch 🔥 .

[@wolfeyes9357]

[@savoie0721]

[@hectorgaldo5465]

Let me know if you need help. In ten minutes I’ll get it started.

[@johndragon3900]

You guys kick start like old women

[@jaythebull8795]

people who poke fun either, think you guys are cool so they bust your balls , or they wish they had what you had. Either way you win. So don't even give it a thought. I think both btw

[@joeamartinez5842]

Im impressed, I always though he was just another sissy hipster but no... he is the real deal! wow

[@Banjoandguns]

This when Hipsters get to much. Front cylinder was never firing 1 you can hear it 2 watch the video no exhaust ever came out the front

[@mickey-eq5vw]

i think they noticed the front cylinder with the meter they got their work cut out for them with that one forsure

[@jamesstafford5564]

No comment

[@brucelund5788]

No Boots, No Comment :{)

[@kevinjohn3832]

Bent valve

[@donaldconnolly220]

run a compression test.....bent valve....

[@chadschwingdorf5834]

That's the wrong kicker arm on there change it

[@Johnclark300]

Old Harley is a real Harley, you can't call a Milwaukee 8 a real Harley, if it doesn't have a kick starter it's not a fucking Harley.

[@charleschevalier6185]

Put some fucking boots on.!!lol Your not starting a mini bike.

[@Burritobandito574]

I wasn’t gonna comment but the. You told Me not to. Don’t tell me how to live my life sir!! I’ll do what I want! 👍🏻
