For a new Chek Ball and light spring for a 1986 Harley softail fxst, I’m without my owners manual presently.. recommendations to source new ones(or do I reuse the ones in the pump now)? Also, can I use your technique of welding a ball on a rod with lapping compound while the external oil pump still affixed to the bike. Didn’t know if I could remove the face to do the work, of the oil pump leaving everything in tact, only working on the check ball and light spring ? I love this stuff yet don’t want to make myself anymore work the needed. Thanks all. Any leads or videos- I’m grateful. G-d bless all.
@@EthanFox-jw7oc I don’t have a way to get the part number for the parts. I would say if the ball looks good then reuse it. With the spring, you cam give them a little stretch but not much. Go easy with it. Maybe lengthen it a 1/4”. You can lap the seat with the pump connected to the engine but only use a small amount of compound. Its important to drain the oil from the oil tank before you start. It’s super important to get the lapping compound all out. I would use a Q-tip but with that you need to get all of the fibers out too. After you think you have all the compound out, pour a bit of oil into the oil tank. The oil will flow out of the pump at this location and flush out any compound that may be left. Needless to say that it’s safer to do it off the engine but I’ve done it the way I described above.
She is such a good sport! Great job Mrs rap!

Thank you!!
Great work man! My 46 had the same dang oil leak when I first built the engine too. Glad to see it going though, it's a beautiful machine.
Thank you for sharing. Hopefully I get it fixed without having to pull the motor out.
Hey hey - sounds great! bummer about the leak but hopefully it's an easy fix... That bike looks so beautiful out there in the sunshine...
Thank you, and hopefully I’ll have it fixed soon without having a pull the engine
Congratulations! I know that feeling and you do really good work with great camera work and explain very well

@@Rapsgarage At 31:40 you install 1st gear at says it should be basically flush with end of countershaft. Well, mine is not. My countershaft 1st gear end play is 0.02”. I found nothing in my service manual regarding countershaft 1st gear end play, and to my knowledge there is no shim available, just a one size washer (35812-36). My countershaft is a new Andrews, the washer/shim (35812-36) is new and measures 0.057”. My 1st gear is not new but in what I would consider great condition. I find 0.02” excessive, or? Should I purchase a new Andrews 1st gear and hope its wider? (I have put the question up at Harley Davidson Forum - Classic - Panhead section - with pictures, but so far, no response - I can’t include link here. Post will be deleted. If you search for “Gearbox countershaft 1st gear end play” you will find it)
@@Rapsgarage At 31:40 you install 1st gear on countershaft, and says it should be basically flush with end of countershaft. Mine is not near flush. My endplay is 0.02”. Is that considered normal?

Great video!
Thanks!
Nice work! One question - on adjusting the hub you could've just pulled the tube out right? No need to take the tire off again... edit: oh I see now...to clean and paint inside the rim. You sure made mounting that tire look easy. 😅I gave away my spoons years ago, swore never again. But on an OEM antique rim I wouldn't trust a machine. I like how you opened up the frame. It might creep back a little w/out the wheel installed but I'm sure you thought of that. Anyway nice work nice bike...looking forward to hearing that old knuckle rumble!
@@rcanoli99 yes to pain the inside of the rim. It was very easy to get the tire off the rim. The difficult tires are dirt bike tires. They suck!!
Ok so I put new rams on the side swing new hoses appeared to be same size filled oil started to move up and down tried side swing blew a new hose could rite and left swing hoses be reversed
That sounds like an over pressuring problem. If the side to side hoses are reversed it would only move in the opposite direction that it’s supposed to. There’s a valve that gets adjusted that relieves pressure once you hit the stop point of movement. If that’s not adjusted correctly you could easily over pressure the hose.
The E-57 plow pump is very close to the E-47 plow pump. This video may help you too. Rebuild of E-57 Meyers Snow Plow Pump Assembly ua-cam.com/video/3vBLir_09I0/v-deo.html
To get it on a trueing stand the tire has to come off. There’s a gauge that rides on the inside of the rim to make sure it’s round and not egg shaped plus on on the outside edge to make sure it’s straight.
How do you know which hose goes were
@@dandoyle-rf9zn they are different sized hoses and can only go on one way.
Thanks for this really helpful. I just put an Ultima on my 76 FLH. I wasn't quite sure about the timing but this video cleared it all up. Cheers

That was very well explained and shown. This was such an important video to get these spaces right and I appreciate you taking the time to show and tell on how you did everything. This is one of those tasks thats not super sexy on the web but really important to get right and show us how to do it. Thanks
@@vk7408 Thank you so much. I wish I would’ve thought to use that line “Not super sexy”. That sums it up perfectly.
@@Rapsgarage Go back in and change your title. Not sexy but safe...you'll get more views
Good video. People should understand, things are never perfect, especially cool old thinks. Being able to tweek things to make them fit is something that's needed often. Retired industrial maintenance, so I've seen brand new things that didn't fit.
@@laurentruesdale4088so true
Many thanks for this video from Germany
Thanks for watching!
nice video didn't you originally had a snap ring after the aluminium part just before the last rubber seal?
Yes I did. I’m guessing that I didn’t show it being put back in. I haven’t watched a video in a long time.
Isn’t that paint only barely heat resistant? Bad choice. That paint is for accessories or bolt ons.
Google part number 98606BF. You will see that on Harley’s website that this is for the engine and transmission. I use the right paint. Thank you for watching and please don’t forget to like and subscribe.
