Old Harley Rebuild

Chronicling disassembly and reassembly of my 1948 Harley Davidson S125 "Hummer"
Horace the Harley needs a new MAP sensor
After a pushrod issue, Horace was throwing an error code for the MAP sensor. (Manifold Absolute Pressure) So I bought a new one and installed it. It took a ton of work to remove one tiny screw. In hindsight maybe I should have lifted the fuel tank.

Horace throws an error code
Переглядів 438 місяців тому
On the test ride after replacing the push rods, the Check Engine light came on. It made me pretty nervous, I was about two miles from home and didn't want to push the bike that far. So the next morning when I had a few minutes I checked the error code to see if it was serious.

Introducing Horace the Harley, AKA Iron Horace. He had a bent pushrod, so I replaced all four. He's happier now that he's running again.

After a lot of disassembly and cleaning and a long pause, I was abler to get back at it. I purchased a few parts (wheels, spokes, tires, tubes, bearings, seat) did some painting and started assembly with some test fitting. I'll have a lot of fasteners to buy as this goes back together.

This is a kind of walk-through overview of the bike as it sits, before too much disassembly.

A little background, some research, and getting started on the engine. I think I need to work on my editing skills.

First installment of the rebuild project, I had just received the bike in pieces after being stored for 50 years.
Did you give up on the Hummer?
Sadly yes. Not enough time (I work full time and run a couple charity events) so I sold it. The cash came in handy too.
Glad to see you are back at it! Can't wait to hear it run!!
Where is episode 5? :-)
Coming soon. I've got the bike completely apart, put the wheels back together with new spokes and rims, and started sandblasting front end parts.
Excellent. I have recently inherited a 1957. Its not in terrible shape but does certainly need a refresh. Trying to absorb as much info on these things as I can.
