i'm actually not allowed to start it for the first time :shock: for the guy to warranty his work on the motor he needs to do the first startup. It's not a terrible idea though because included with the price of the rebuild, he's going to set the timing, carbs, check the oil flow, and get it all setup and running correctly. i'm going to insist on doing the kicking though (don't imagine he'll argue)Matt Spencer said:

Prime the crankshaft with about a teacup full of oil. This is most easily achieved with an oil syringe, a piece of flexible pipe, and a spare rocker feed pipe banjo which can be connected at the rear of the timing case. I was just reading this procedure, thought I'd share. Sorry I missed that last post.

Great thread ! Is the primary on yet as I note a worn gearbox sprocket and a new one is cheap and a big future labour saver , march on !
it is not...i tried and tried to talk myself out of buying a new (i'm SO over budget) but i think i'm going to have to, it's pretty rough. Plus i just noticed i put the nut for it on backwards when i rebuilt it, so since i have to take it apart i guess i'll get a new one :evil:Torontonian said:

The chamfer on the big nut goes towards the new sprocket. This is because the sprocket is slightly dished on the outboard side. Proceed.

Plus if it can happen it will. Why does the dropped piece of toast always land jam side to the floor?

Oh Oh Leafs and Habs mentioned in the same thread, this could go bad like that CB750/Norton thread...
I'll keep my mouth shut about the habs. As for the leafs, my brother in law is from toronto and now lives in vegas, me being a flyers fan we love to give each other shit (i get leaf's gear every xmas as he does flyers swag) i'll tell you one thing though, i love Luke Schenn, but that JVR trade might put you guys over the top if he ever plays like he's capable and stays healthy. I was sad to see him go.
