The Chopper Compendium

That Shellec is falling apart in Maui's gasoline.... http://www.wheelsmaui.com/UserFiles/Image/62FLProject5/62PanRebuild457s_may2017.JPG Got the single fire leads on the correct cylinders... http://www.wheelsmaui.com/UserFiles/Image/62FLProject5/62PanRebuild454s_may2017.JPG Link to a video... Worked...

Put some of that shellac I have on a screw and nut, let it dry... http://www.wheelsmaui.com/UserFiles/Image/62FLProject5/62PanRebuild444s_apr2017.JPG And put it in a jar of gasoline to see what happens to it... It's 93 octane and is E10, that's what we have around here.... http://www.wheelsmaui.com/...

Swapped out the handlebars for the "new" risers and flat bars... Lookin' good so far.... http://www.wheelsmaui.com/UserFiles/Image/62FLProject5/62PanRebuild445s_apr2017.JPG Plenty of clearance at the tank, both sides... And lots of turning angle, real helpful when moving the bike around in...

Had some time this am, so got these posted: The single fire Morris ignition leads were cut to fit and terminals were clamped on the ends... http://www.wheelsmaui.com/UserFiles/Image/62FLProject4/62PanRebuild437s_apr62017.JPG This is a pretty cool system, there are huge capacity diodes in that large ...

Short on time, but have a few photos, so let's see if I can pull this off.... http://www.wheelsmaui.com/UserFiles/Image/62FLProject4/fuel7200035_As.jpg That tube in the screen allows a reserve function inside the tank at that level.... Probably about a quart, probably good for 10 miles if I milk it,...

I've just learned that this is a 22 mm fuel outlet, now to find a fuel petcock to fit it....

Got my family (kids and grandkids) to the airport and shipped off to their home in WA, so now have some time (again)... I went ahead and sealed off the screw, nut, and mount on the carb fuel float with the shallac product above I got at ACE hardware, guess I'll find out if there is a problem with it...

Look what I found....

These are the kind of clamps I'm looking for, might have to buy a new set if I can't find the ones I thought I had...

Now that I got the heads shifted away from each other about 20 thou, I can get the intake in there, but it is too tight, so got the mill file out and removed a little on each side of the intake tee.... http://www.wheelsmaui.com/UserFiles/Image/62FLProject4/62PanRebuild416s_apr62017.JPG Ended up taki...

Pulled the intake tee out and torqued down all the bolts.... Then measured it, got 2.970", same as the intake tee, so I got my 20 thou. but still pretty tight.... http://www.wheelsmaui.com/UserFiles/Image/62FLProject4/62PanRebuild410s_apr62017.JPG I had these nice clamps, and tried to fit it al...

Still might remove a slight amount from the ends of the intake tee, after I get the max. amount of clearance I can from "moving" the heads apart, just to make absolutely sure there is no "binding" of any kind between the heads and the intake tee when it is cold. As the motor warm...

Just got back home from Copper Mtn, CO, where my 12 yr old grandson placed 8th overall nationwide in the 12 yr old snowboarding events, and my 9 yr old grandson placed 6th overall nationwide in his age group freeskiing events. Wow, am I a proud grandpa or what !!! Managed to get a little time in the...

I'll get some pix, but just wanted to quickly post this..... The intake is wider than the intake ports on the heads... Tried to loosen the head bolts to see if I could get more spread on the intake ports, nawwww, still too tight, it's a function, I think, of modern thinner base gaskets and head gask...

When I had the original fuel needle in the bowl, I inverted the bowl and blew gently into the fuel line inlet, and it seemed tight, and I could feel it opening and closing the air flow as I worked the float, opening and closing the needle. So I redid it with the new needle and seat and, same thing, ...
