Got to a farm machinery supplier for UN fasteners mate. In Australia we have Agricultural and Growers services.
We have a Dildo, Newfoundland.
Hello, thanks for vids very well done and informative, the 8 outer primary screws what torque you set at mate? My HD manual for my 82 FXE says 18-22 ft lbs seems a lot!!? Don’t want to strip!And did you use a smear of silicone on the gasket or dry? Thankyou
Most of the bikes in the museum I've never seen so quite the history lesson. Thanks for sharing and good to see you back. Hope you are doing well.
Thanks Ron, there were some cracking bikes in there. Hope to be back properly in the New Year
Woo wee 🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️👍🏼😀👍🏼😀
Thank You for sharing these beautiful motor bikes, good to see you back online, hopefully everyone is doing well.
Hi Max, good to hear from you, things are getting better, hope all is good with you!
Good to see you back Mark👍👍
Thanks Conor, hope to be back properly in the New Year!
The Green and Red H Van sells some of the most delicious pizzas in the whole area.
I was back in Eymet not that long ago and the pizzas looked great
i only use the old style throw out bearings. don't change it
I had a SS50 in 1977 what great days so much fun on the road with your mates and a lot less traffic making it safer😂😂😂😂
Too true Karl, happy days in so many ways.
nice job Great
I have an 84 shovel and really enjoyed your videos on overhauling your primary. Shovels are notorious for oil leaking from behind clutch area of the inner primary. hopefully all that work fixed your problem. I did the same thing myself and fixed most of the problem but I still get a few drops of oil on the garage floor periodically. Love the tank graphics and color of your bike. The AMF years were known for mechanical issues but they had great paint schemes. They put a lot of effort into this area but did little to address ongoing mechanical issues that plagued the bikes. This is why they nearly went bankrupt prior to the employee buyback from AMF around 1981
I have an old brake hose with a grease zerk on the end for the stubborn piston. You can exert more force with grease than air
Glencaple isn't free. It's a community Aire and a donation of £5 per night should be put in the box at the cairn. We have stayed a few times..one of our favourites. As is the all day breakfast at The Boathouse there.
thanks for this, it is most helpful
Hi is there any chance to buy of you all those magazines please ? Or any information bout those will be a massive help in find my holly grail of Polish history of WSK ... Thank you...
I suspect that the threaded insert that came with that socket was more intended to aid in holding that socket/seal driver parallel with the shaft while driving the seal than it was for protecting the threads at the end.
Great step by step…I need to do my van as it squeaks and groans a lot
Looking to buy a 2cv wanted a VW beetle but the quality of aftermarket parts are poor are the aftermarket parts for the 2cv good or is their part's that are good or bad
Get some good after market calipers mate. Your wasting your time and money. These calipers are rubbish!!!!
How did you address the lack of grooving for keeping the valve stem seals in place?
A brass float needle is too heavy and the carb might work but won't work as it was designed to operate. Aluminium needles will lift on their own due to the weight of the column of fuel above and then the carb will work as it should with the rising float closing the needle rather than the sinking float raising it. It makes about 6mm difference on the fuel height. With the Aluminium needles the carb works as it was originally designed to work.
Please, help me sir with my Shovelhead!
Thank you so much @Old Nut's Garage for your videos to the Shovel! Enjoyed them and took way much along for my own rebuilding, helped me a lot. (Sorry, my english is not as good) Got actually some clutch probs but with your vids I'm gonna fix them! So, keep on! Is there any video you are driving the lady? Greetings from Germany!
I bin the old style banna calipers, and get some decent GMA calipers or something off different harley. These brakes were rubbish when they were first made and still are. I took them straight off my shovelhead after doing everything you doing here. Best😊
Me puede hacer el favor de decirme a donde puedo pedir esa caja del carbulador le agradesco por la informacion
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Best off buying clutch basket complete. Not alot of money.
What a beautiful lovely car i absolutely love the genius of the engineering ( Leonardo "simplicity is the height of sophistication" ) and general ease of maintenance, speed is not my thing but comfort and safety come high on my list of priorities, i love that red colour of your 2CV i am so drooling yours ,thank you for this wonderful privilege of showing us this how to video series, i am of a similar age to you and never liked speed and danger, but some times it takes a life time to appreciate some of these wonderful creations despite a lifetime being distracted on to other machines that will never tick all the boxes, thank you so much.
Could you please tell me what are these two tubes for ?
has this video been reedited with all the details cut out ?, i guess said detail view would be whole videos on there own.
To make the flanges mate square, with the pipes off bend each side of the mounting bracket by putting a pipe over it and bending it until you get the desired fitment. This was a great series to watch.
I owned one and, yes, I can confirm it was unreservedly the worst bike I have personally ever owned. I would agree with the comments made in your video. The stand was lethal and it would not "stand" on it anyway if there was even a slight breeze blowing. It leaked two stroke oil all over and after riding a short distance it looked like you had ridden through a tar field. The electrics were abysmal, the gearshift crude and clunky, the gear ratios were apparently engineered by someone who never passed basic math, the handling was awful even with better tires, the supplied tires appeared to be made of teflon and they never wore out! The brakes?..….. well as far as I was concerned they must have been an optional extra that werent supplied on my bike 😂 The chrome came off the bike when you washed it and the paint became so dull after just one winter that it looked like someone had sandblasted it. Although the engine mostly seemed to fire up and run just about well enough to get you around, the bike never idled, it didnt matter how you adjusted it, the idle and slow speed operation was horribly erratic. I recommend riding one only to see just how low you can go in motorcycle manufacture. Ive heard the Minsk 125 was worse, but I have never tried one and don't want to!
Greetings from Greece again.I have finally finish my rebuild engine and i ve started it easily after almost 20 years.My fear is that ive done something maybe not properly with the carburettor.I've changed almost everything...New cylinder and pistons new valves new seals new electronic ignition and everything is new on carburettor.i've adjust my carburettor according to a burton's video about carburettor.I've adjust my floats from seal to float dots on the centre of the floats to 18 centimetres.Results are not great .. my engine revs good but is not steady and is popping time to time.idle is not good and when i shut off the engine by closing the chock ( cause engine is on a workbench) fuel is dropping from a tiny hole under my center of the manifold.Maybe is too rich??Please need some help here.Thanks a lot for replying my older question.
Hello again, it is difficult to give an opinion over the internet but here goes........... assuming the timing is correct, were the new valves lapped in to the head, is there any wear on the carb spindles causing an air leak, was the insulator block between carb and manifold in good condition and were new paper gaskets fitted, was the primary choke flap fully closed ( wear can leave it slightly open over time ) were new gaskets fitted on the manifold, are there any exhaust leaks? Any of these can give an uneven idle and popping back. Fuel dropping is normal to a certain degree but less so when the engine has been running for a bit so perhaps the float needle is not seating properly? I cannot think of anything else at the moment, if I do I will add it later. Good luck with it !
@@oldnutsgarage A huge thanks for the reply and your advices.finally i have find my problem.took the carb off and adjust my floats a bit lower.ive add all exhaust pipes on and the problem is gone.now it revs and idles so smooth.Fuel dropping when i shut it off still is there but less than before.Thanks a lot and appreciate your help!
Excellent, have fun with it and drive safe
Which Grease do you recommend
Hi there.iam struggling to find or order this special socket in greece and iam thinking to replace these bolts with allen bolts.what u suggest
Hello and great to hear from someone in Greece, one of my favourite countries with the friendliest people. I know that several owners have replaced the original bolts with Allen headed versions for ease of removal in the future although I have not tried it myself but I cannot see there would be a problem. Thanks a lot for watching!
Best video online for any vespa engine by far and in english Ive a px i ride and just got a pk in parts to rebuild , this is going to be my go to series when i start the engine .youve just solved a massive hole in my knowledge . Thank you
Hello! I have a problem and maybe you will be able to help me. How to set default valve position? I have Solex cic4 from GSA and in documentation is said that it should be 1,25 degree… I can’t find solex tool for adjusting. With radial size of valve it is 0,24mm movement. How you are doing those adjustments?
Que fantástico! Excelente trabalho.
Really useful. Mine is being treatedf to a new clutch so this is perfect. Thank you.
This reminds me of year 7 french and not being able to get any work done after somebody found this town on this map of France in the classroom
Hi OldNut, I hope you noticed in time that the three lock nuts of the clutch spring plate are mounted the wrong way around. The lug on the plate and the slot should interlock.
Hi, I am not sure if I noticed or not, so will have to assume I did not and take the cover off again to check. I prefer to blame old age but stupidity probably outranks it! Thanks for letting me know.
No advice or info, How to import brand new motorcycle from China.
Buy new one
Those calipers squealed like crazy. I would just toss them and get multi-piston ones.
I watch some videos of the weirdest names of towns and cities. The Condom city it's beautiful but the name sounds funny, makes me laugh much.
Whats the functions of each color.. Orange.. Yellow.. Blue ..?? Ive got a 1973
ME TOO IM IN CONDOM
Sorry to hear that you're selling the Shovelhead, as I really enjoyed and learned a lot from your Shovelhead videos. I must also say that I agree with your assessment on the Shovelhead. Likewise, the weight issue is going to be the deciding factor for me. I have a 74 FLH and unfortunately, I don't trust it as I did my 750 Kawasaki. However, I have learned so much from watching your videos that I have the confidence in performing the tasks you have shown. Also, on other forums such as Facebook, your name has been mentioned when people get stuck fixing their Shovelheads. Much respect from Australia, hoping to see more of your videos in 2024. Finally, I and many others enjoy your take on things mechanical. Take care, stay safe.
Really sorry about the delay in replying but I am still rather unwell. Really glad you have found the videos of some use, I enjoyed working on the old Shovel. Enjoy your 74 and ride safe!
