    I believe now that they are for a center stand.

    Oops a 750A followed me home.

    BAHNST I can say that because I recently finished a total restoration of one. Yes it was interesting but the depth of the build and the lack of certain OEM parts due to its limited run made it a major PITA.

    I found these in a box of parts. I know I’ve seen them before but can’t remember where I took them off of. Anybody know.

    Yes I had a parts guy tell me that this bike uses parts and pieces from other models. Almost like they had something they wanted to try so why not just throw it on this odd man out machine. In hindsight I do remember looking at that seal and I actually have it in the drawer I was just reluctant...

    Yes AMC49 that is the only difference. I totally missed that inner on the diagram(I think) and I see it is still available. I wisely ordered two of the outer I found I think the issue is I have to split the case to get the inner out.

    I don’t think it’s different than the SOHC, just a different size? In any case is there an odd parts supplier that I might get lucky with?

    I am also looking for the countershaft oil seal. The part # is 91203-393-003. It lists as a 32x64x13. I found a 32x64x10 that I replaced it with but I’m seeing oil leaking out when I run the engine and I’m highly suspect of that being the culprit. Anyone know where to possibly get this NLA seal?

    I thought it might be but I did rebuild them when I started this project one kept them covered. Oh well, back off they come.

    Ok pulled the bowl off carb #4. Must have been a stuck needle. Bike starts and runs with a little throttle and full choke. Take the choke off she dies but I’m getting a little closer. Anybody got a suggestion for my next step as far as lining out the choke having to be on?

    Got back into the project today and the tank does not leak, I checked the timing it is spot on and the advancer weights are free and working. I did pull the plugs on the carburetors to make sure there was gas in the bowls and they leaked out of everyone but number four. I put a piece of fuel...

    Coils are firing on the correct cylinders, I already verified that and I remember when I set the valves everything worked out OK. As I said I loosened the points plate and turned it all the way to the right and things appeared to smooth out. I just have a hard time believing it’s that far off. I...

    OK guys, thanks for the replies but let me clarify a couple of things. First startup since the engine rebuild. Starts righ up with the ether but dies as soon as it burns off. I get the kickback trying to start it with gas from an IV tank. My regular tank won’t be cured until Tomorrow because the...

    Bringing this up to speed.work and other commitments have delayed progress but working diligently to get things done. Every time I take one step forward I slide back one. Wiring is complete, everything is back together. Put gas in the tank and crap! Damn thing is leaking. Found two pinholes and...

    Hi DJ, Detroit area myself. Motor stands can be built fairly easy if you have a welder and some angle but I just use a small dolly and a block of wood lol. Nice pick-up. Bike has the aftermarket finned covers also. The one I'm working on sat for 26 yrs and had way more stuff to do. looks like...
