More New Parts on the Way
Well, Just ordered a carb rebuild kit (Original Keihin butterfly. - It's
a kick-only 1200 and starts generally first or second kick. I'm not
changing it.) and new handlebar wiring harnesses just to get all the
buttons and switches working again. Now to wait for the parts to arrive.
Almost Back at it.
So I finally ordered the replacement primary drive. It is a belt drive
system with a dry clutch that will let me take the oil pump apart and
put a plug in the port that causes the oil to drain from the tank to the
case. This will also eliminate the source of the famous Harley leak as
there will be no oil at all in the primary case.
I'm going to go with new final drive sprockets and chain. (Probably going down two in the rear to get the rpms down as it only like to cruise at about 60 or so currently.) Haven't quite decided whether to go with standard or O-ring chain since the final drive chain is supposed to be oiled by the blow-by out of the primary case.
