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

Looks like you found the master cylinder in a swamp LOL
Yep, it was pretty cruddy but cleaned up ok thankfully
I did not know that about brake fluid thank you for the info
With all the stuff made in China ... We're now happy to see stuff made in Japan... Who'da thought that
Yeah, some of the Chinese stuff is really nasty
I had 73 FL and whatever I would do it wouldn't take long water would somehow get inside there and the plunger rig mat, come all the way back
It is in quite an exposed position sitting out there I suppose
👍🏍️👍👍👍
What year Shovelhead are those master cylinders from Old Nut ?
The bike is 73, the cylinder must be a later one as it had a DOT5 sticker but I have no idea of its actual age, sorry.
