    Hi Jessee lm from NZ l just brought a 72 bonneville gold tank and the main fuse by the battery keeps blowing any clues please. There are some loose wires by the coils not connected.

    • @jessesvintagegarage765
      @jessesvintagegarage765 11 днів тому

      I'm not sure how familiar your with 60's and 70's british motorcycles, but since you said you just bought it. I'm going to say something about these bikes that isn't always obvious all pre 1979 british motorcycles are Positive ground and are polarity sensitive. They have Zenor diodes if the battery ever gets hooked up backwards it blows out the Zenor diode and goes to ground causing instant fuse blow. The system can be tested the fuse wire is in the Negative lead Brown with blue stripe. The Red wire is the Positive lead it goes to the frame as ground. You first should now find the Zenor diode it gold in color and has a large blade with a brown wire plugged in its next to the battery box on the right side bolted to the inner air box. Unplug it. Then try to replace the fuse if it don't blow the fuse the Zenor needs replaced. To test it a Zenor in good condition is normally open if testing with a ohm meter red lead on the base and black on the blade needle should not move if it's good. So if testing and the needle moves showing a closed circuit it's bad and needs replaced. Those wires loose you might be talking about probably aren't and issue Lucas wiring harnesses have extra wires here and there for different accessories that didn't always get used and sometimes if points systems are replaced by electronic ignition systems then some more wires are not used. If the battery was hooked up backwards and caused this and the bike also has say a Boyer electronic ignition system in it they also are very polarity sensitive so it could be burnt out also but let's hope that didn't happen. If all is good with Zenor diode testing then there has to be a wire damaged and touching ground some where and can be anywhere from the taillight to the headlight but will need inspecting close. I hope this helps you.

    If you're shooting for a "from the factory restoration" and it seems you are, in 1968, the jeweled warning lamps are opposite of your installation. Red goes on the left/drive side and green goes on the right/timing side. Green is to let you know your ignition switch is still on, and red is the headlight beam. In 1969 when Triumph added the oil pressure switch/warning light, they went to red for oil and green for headlight beam. Keep up the good work!

      @@RobertJones-fq9dk Thanks for the comment I may have interpreted the parts book wrong it shows the green light to the left but not exactly what hole it's going in, and also may have referenced other motorcycles that were wrong as well, In an earlier video I think number 3 we talk about adding the sensor and light for oil and how the cam cover changed and what your saying makes sense s for I may have had bad references but going forward for this bike, We really want an oil pressure light instead of a constant on power indicator light. And it will keep this bike from being 100% accurate and will have the touch of 69 in the headlamp and It is a sacrifice we feel makes the bike better in our preference.

My indie rip the bike apart twice to check for the o-ring on the oil pump and it was there. Just wondering what the loud 350 Chevy sound is lol, thank you in advance sorry for the length

      @@-MrRichBiker1967 Well you have a softail "B" motor which is a balance motor our video is for a "A" motor that isn't a softail balance motor so there is a threaded plug we installed that you must leave open but also needs an oring placed there to seal properly. Also it sounds as though you're running a gear drive so your set up requires feuling #8016 block off plates to be installed because your not needing the hydraulic chain tensioners there's a block off plate required on both sides of the cam plate. And feuling requires pinion shaft run out to be 2.5 thousands or less and the gear drive has a specific amount of run out also.

    • @jessesvintagegarage765
      @jessesvintagegarage765 Місяць тому

      @@cdpd3 We have powder coated frames and other parts in the past. It's important to know locations where ever the motor and transmission bolt up tight to the frame can't have powder coat on or those locations won't retain torque on the bolts as the powder coating is so thick it wears from vibration. The other thing about powder coating is it dissolves with brake clean. So setup for powder coating is very time consuming and after powder coating the bare metal areas will need touched up with enamel by a brush. We have very good luck with Epoxy or Enamel another good option is POR-15 as long as the person applying that knows what there doing with the hardener otherwise it be to soft forever,just be sure to use Top coat as it has UV protection as their chassis and engine paint doesn't.

Really should use a ring file machine or make a jig to get the cuts perfectly square, otherwise you cause problems. Doesn't matter how you clock the rings because they'll rotate the way they "want" to anyway once it's running and breaks in. Good video though.

    Combat engines were made to produce more power by increasing compresion and revolutions. However, if you revved them hard, the valves hit the pistons and the engine went Bang. For a 1949 500cc engine designed by the great Bert Hopwood, they survived being stretched to 600cc, 650cc, 750cc and 829cc. The Combat motor suffered from porosity, gasblows and a tendency to blow up. They can be set up properly, but the owner needs to be a wealthy enthusiast.
