hey lads,
Have yet another issue with my shovel. Got it all running with resealed trans, belt drive primary, new oil pump and rebuilt s and s carb, took it for a spin and all sweet. Thinking everything was sweet i went for a short ride and 15 min into my journey rattle rattle rattle. No oil pressure light came on and noise sounds like valve train (although iv never hears a roller bearing bottom end fail before). This did happen once before i changed the oil pump. Not being a harley owner long im thinking hyd lifters may be bleading down wen hot?On my othe thread houli was saying about cam bearing failures etc. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers.
with the oil pressure light coming on you`ll need to check that first and make sure the pump is ok.Then check tappet screen to make sure its clean, do you have solids or hyd lifters?
no oil pressure light is coming on whilst riding houli. Light definatly works as it comes on with engine stopped. Was not aware of this screen. Whr is it? I have hydraulic lifters
righto dave. Will go through process of ilimination. Noise is not on start up. Comes in after riding for around 20 min. Will park her up and chek her out. Cheers boys.
Just above the oil pump on the crank cases is a big screw, wtf is that is that? It's the filter for the tappets, be careful reinstalling it cross threading is easy
5 into 4 won't go
Fitment looks ok to me here mate??? just a few mods to inner primary, clutch cable etc. Have you heard of dramas? http://www.jpcycles.com/product/620-130
