In case anyone is wondering, we definitely turned the nut on the clutch drive mainshaft the wrong way, it is reverse threaded Dave is going to take a look and see how bad it is damaged.
@@ballockybill2277 Thanks for the comment! Yes, we’re not sure at the moment. I’m going to check it out later today and see what’s happening with it. I’ll be video taping too so it’ll be in my next video. Appreciate that you watched the video. Hope you have a great day!
Thanks for the comment! I definitely didn't do that. I did finally get the engine apart and cleaned it up. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the motorcycle. I didn't know there was so much wrong with it when I got if from a friend. Initially we just thought the rear wheel was stuck and needed new bearings. Now we know the engine needs new parts and there is also an electrical problem. I think I might just part it out and split the money with my friend.
I’m thinking that bike is probably about 15 plus years old? Do you think parts will be difficult to locate? I know they stopped making the bike sometime ago.
Thanks for the comment! Parts for the bike are still around. I believe the engine is similar or the same as the Harley Davidson Sportster engine with the rear cylinder removed. So one cylinder instead of two. So we'll be able to obtain parts from the Harley Davidson dealership if needed.
I tried! There was just too much wrong with it. Wound up giving it back to my good friend. He says he’s gonna get it running again, but he says a lot of things. Appreciate that you watched the video!
You are so right! Yes, we are amateurs. Originally, I was told the bike only needed new rear bearings. Boy, was that an understatement. So now the parts and frame are back with my friend to do what he pleases with them.
@@GrayTrend I love wrenching on these old bikes, while I may have sounded a bit gruff, I hate seeing bad mistakes made worse by not doing research on simple jobs such as removing a clutch basket etc. I'll bet I could have that bike running within a couple weeks (I'm a retired auto mechanic) like I did with my little Blast. When I bought it, it was in boxes.

You supposed to remove yhe spark plug, and spark some WD-40 in the spark plug whole , to help free the piston for the engine to spin again
