    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...

    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...

    http://www.carburetion.com/diags/3236DGAVDiaginfo.asp Have a look at this . The bush ( 20 ) is a plastic thing that is a snug sliding fit on the shaft , the spring (21) pushes that bush against the face of the carb body ..... so that if there is wear in the spindle bush in the carb body...

    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 . Whats wrong...

    Tool needed to hold cyl. head

    How about a 14mm bolt and 2 nuts , lock the nuts together with enough thread to fit into the plug hole and clamp the shank in your vice . Or maybe a piston stopper ?
