    Mike this was such a great series of build videos A because its an f ing pan (knuckle would be cool too) B it was a real build like us normal workers could find or afford and C you showed how to build it right, do it safe, fix and rebuild what was needed to get it road worthy and let us inside your trouble shooting thoughts and critical thinking skills. Outstanding all the way around. We all couldn't wait for you to finish and hear it fire....MORE PANS and KNUCKLES...we need your knowledge on these old bikes. Thanks

    With all due respect this oil system is not a total loss system. Normal oil usage is 500 miles per quart for these years and models. Total loss systems ended in 36. Great video. Summer's acoming. We should get some 70's this week.

    • @pacificmike9501
      @pacificmike9501  2 роки тому +1

      True. The primary chain system (dripping from the breather, even though adjusted at the pump) goes into the primary chain case and dumps onto the chain, then ends up in the bottom of the chaincase, where it then empties onto the ground. Hence, the primary chain oiling system is "total loss," even though the motor is running a complete circulating system. And we all know, this continued up to and including 1964.

    Now, twenty miles is oft enough, new neighbours make new noise,
    then a bath & dressing is a welcome blessing & adds a certain poise.
    Adjust once more, then sweep the floor & take her out for a trot,

    • @pacificmike9501
      @pacificmike9501  2 роки тому +2

      Until1936, the entire engine had a splash and total loss system. Then they got oil pumps and a complete circulating system. But the primary chain had an adjustable drip system that didn't end up anywhere but on the ground. This lasted until 1964. In 65, the primary chain got a circulating system that dripped oil onto the chain. Then, it returned to the engine.

    Good afternoon Mike. I picked up a bike with an early style juice drum. When I tighten the axle sleeve nut, the backing plate should be pulled tight in place against the spacer and axle plate, correct? When all my axle hardware is tight, the backing plate is "floating" for lack of a better term. It's only held from moving by the brake stay bolt. I believe a larger spacer on the axle sleeve will take up the extra slop and lock the backing plate in place. Can you confirm this please? Thanks!

    • @pacificmike9501
      @pacificmike9501  Рік тому

      Most likely, that is it. Check spacers in catalogs. That hydraulic brake (there are two different versions) only came on swing arm Big Twins, 58-72. Maybe you need the right spacers for your application. Try the Paughco parts book which I'm sure you can find online, or possibly V-Twin (Tedd Cycle).

The question actually is if the chain is riding against the left side of the sprocket teeth instead of being centered so which side adjuster would affect that adjusting in or out? On your video you showed how to check for it to be aligned, since it was aligned you didn't go into aligning the chain on sprocket.. I guess I could go with trial and error to I get it right.
      I appreciate you taking time to reply to this pretty simple question. I feel silly asking after close to 50 years of riding. Just thought you might know when you tighten (adjust out) one side or the other how it would ride on sprocket .
