and back to the gearbox.


Polished the outer cover.  Wasn't trying to get a show finish and purposely left some of it's history

Painted the gear numbers (not that you actually look at them)

Then went to try changing the gears.  Frick %$@#!  It wouldn't go into first :mad:. Also, there was absolutely no play in the kickstart shaft. Ok, time to pull everything out, AGAIN. At this point, i'm getting good at breaking the gearbox down and fully assembling it in 30 mins. Since i was reaching 4th but couldn't get to 1st, thought maybe the camplate was off a notch. I rotated it so the quadrant would go higher, but it was hitting the top of the window. Damn. Maybe i missed a cog on the camplate so i backed it out AGAIN and moved it a cog the other way. It was back to where it was before. So i'm thinking do i have to grind out the top of the window??? I decided to put the inner and outer covers on, without the gears, to just check it. It seemed to get to all the gears. Hmmm, maybe i lucked out so i put all the gears back in, and the two covers. It seemed to work. It wasn't silky smooth transitioning through the gears, but i was able to get to all the gears. I'll call that a win and will find out for sure when i get everything back together. As for the kickstart shaft, when i measured the end play the inner covers were only hand tight. This made about a .01" difference. I pulled out this much shim and it's now good.


Final
