    2001 cali stone fuel pump not engaging

    And make sure the terminal in the relay socket have not been pushed part way out the back of the socket so as to make poor/ intermittent contact when the relay is plugged in ( this goes for all plugs and sockets ..........ah , so many times :) )

    Interesting development , Some guy here has offered me a Digi Synch 4 cylinder vacuum gauge ( made in USA ) .... in the box used once . I did look for reviews but all there is are a few ( bad ) actors pretending to be mechanics using one . They all blither on about how great the thing...

    Vacuum Gauges / meters

    I went to use my old mercury column gauges other day and found that they have got moisture in the mercury in the column ( think its moisture ) , any how I want to buy new gauges and seeing as how the old ones were given to me I never had to think about whether to go for dial type gauges (...

    Oil leak rocker arm spindle bolt. 1975 850 T

    :) 1stly , everything above is correct , but if you really wanted to you could run the engine , and have a look see at the ends of the rockers and see if oil is coming out from between the spindle and the rocker, thus verifying oil flow along the spindle . Part of the oils job is also to cool...

    Rear wheel 1975 850T

    For what its worth I had issues sealing the rear drive unit . Leaking ( weeping , oozing , like about 1 drip every day ) thru the seals ....new ones . I did give everything relevant a good measure up, checked where the seal bears on the gear and all ok . The seals both felt sorta loose and I...

    Twin disc conversion 850t

    Thanks guys , I was aware that the spacer on the existing disc is the one I need to duplicate . I have an F09 on my bike at the mo and I find it a bit wooden and a bit prone to locking without warning ............and not providing a lot of stopping . I have a Brembo m/cyl ( same size as my...

    Throttle shaft wear

    I have previously made brass bushes from thin wall brass tube bought from a model shop . In these instance's ( wbeber 32/36dgav and a holley 390 4bbl) the inside dia was a perfect fit over the shaft . On one carb I had to glue ( liquid steel ) the bush in , using the throttle shaft as a...

    Foreign object dropped in Norge cylinder

    I would persevere , bring piston up in the cyl and try to either stab the pencil with a long needle like thing or try to get something to stick to it ... maybe chewing gum on the end of a screwdriver ...... seems a shame to pull the head , I know that technically it aint a biggie .
