    That "radial bearing" sandwiched between 2 thrust washers is a "thrust bearing", lol. It amazes me how easily such obvious nomenclature can disappear from our vocabulary at the most inopportune times, yet be readily recalled at pretty much any other time. As always, grade A episode Mike and friends!

    Good info thanks, I just bought two kicker kits for a couple electric start shovels I have.
    This video showed me what to expect during the install. thanks.
    We call those "C" clips and use C-Clip pliers to spread and install them.
    I think you forgot to install your kicker cover gasket.

    Hi Mike
    Really enjoy your videos. You have a great way of explaining and showing the work.
    I have a 1946 UL, 74 ci, right hand throttle, left grip controls timer, linkert carburetor. It needs new cables for front brake, timer, and throttle. I've tried lubricating the cables with dri-slide moly lubricant, held them vertical overnight to get lubricant to drip down, but can't get it to fully coat the old cables. They are not very responsive and it is just dangerous with a sticky throttle. So I ordered new restoration quality cables with wire in a coil in cotton braided jacket. I know I have to trim them to fit, but am leery - they are spendy - cutting the wire and trimming the coil just so - I'd like to get it right. I've looked in service manual and in Palmer's books and did not find much help. Looked online and seems only modern cables are covered. Would you consider doing a video on replacing and trimming the old style cables and adjusting throttle spiral, timer, and front brake? Or do you know of a good reference? Thanks much

    • @pacificmike9501
      @pacificmike9501  4 года назад

      It's alway tough. You just have to be careful and trim as necessary. Leaving them too long and then having to shorten them again is the best. We'll show it when we have one we need to do. Can't just randomely do these things.

      Thanks for the quick reply ! Wow ! That was fast. I will definitely start a bit longer and trim if needed. I'll start with brake cable as it's easier to access and doing it a couple times will give me some practice before I start doing the throttle and timer which are run in handlebar. Thanks again

    • @tomsan9528
      @tomsan9528 4 года назад

      Well, just in case anyone else is interested in control cables, I did some more research and found some references, so I'll post them for their use:
      1. Palmer second edition of "How to Restore your HD" does have a section on control cable routing and trimming in Chapter 2 under Chassis. See pages 128-134.
      2. Kirk Perrry's "Mechanics and Owners Guide to HD OHV Big Twins," 1941-59, vol 1 describes timer cable on pages 113-114. In Vol 2, Perry has lots of photos of parts in handlebars and describes process of cleaning and replacing on pages 89-93. He gives a good tip for cutting coil wire on page 155.
      3. The second edition (1945) of Nicholson's Modern MC Mechanics, page 319 has some good general tips on control cables. Of interest is they recommend "tinning" the braided wire before cutting it to prevent unraveling.
      4. Rick Schunk's "How to Rebuild/Restore Classic HD Big Twins" describes installing coil and wire and has nice color photos pages 66-68.
      5. There is a reprint of the early Riders Handbooks "HD Operation, Maintenance, Operation 1930-1949 Models." It discusses control cables in the Riders Handbooks for 1930-34 and 35-40 models. This reprint is still available from Harley dealers (as of Jan 2020) under PN 99407-93. It was $35.
      Hope I did not overstep any bounds, but I am a book geek, love the research and sharing what I found. I know, should spend more time riding, but I am what I am.

I could’ve really used it a couple days ago, the Shovelhead Bobber project we are building at the shop I work at had the retaining clip fall off the clutch push rod so all the throwout bearing parts were inside the transmission. I figured it out but it would’ve been cool to have this as a reference.

      In all seriousness I appreciate the reply and I seriously appreciate the fact that you post videos like these. I’m 32 now, been doing this since I was 13-14 and I cut my teeth on Twin Cams and now I’ve also pretty well got the M8 figured out, especially the EFI models. I grew up with that so I had to have help from older, more experienced techs like yourself to learn how to diagnose and repair carbs properly. The same with most of my Evo motor knowledge, I’ve gained it by watching videos like yours and Tatro Machine’s. There’s not many of you guys around that know how to work on these older bikes, this knowledge you’re archiving and sharing is absolutely invaluable and priceless in my opinion. I can’t tell you how much it means because you can’t find this kind of good, solid information from knowledgeable guys just anywhere. Especially in this day and age where everyone who thinks they are an HD tech is able to post their ideas all over forums and Facebook. It’s so nice to have people like you that are experienced, seasoned and most importantly actually practicing the art, not just a hobbyist doing it on the weekends.
      I can’t say thanks enough sir.

    @ernycherbak3727 Год назад

    Very good i'm working on mine now. One guy says he just put a regular snap ring on the clutch pushrod. The tabs for the snap ring pliers stick out too far and when the shaft spins they contact the operating cam on one side or the other and it gets stopped from spinning. So the snap ring is forced to not spin while the pushrod does spin. Mine was extremely loose for that. Also if the cam comes out of contact with the thrust surface it can come down on the snap ring ends and distort it. You see the kits on line with a snap ring not good. Either grind off the snap ring tabs or use the E-clip like Mike does here. You have to look in the fill plug hole to see this with a flashllight to see the issue.

    Thanks for the video Mike. Interesting setup on this clutch. I am always interested in seeing how different manufactures design and engineer these type of devices. I just installed a Barnett Clutch pressure plate and new friction disks on my 1997 Yamaha Royal Star. I have launched many clips in my day. I usually use a magnet tool in close proximity to the clip and it usually catches it.
    Just got off the phone with the manufacturer of the Clutch. I was just giving some feedback about the installation instructions and how they might be better. I had asked him about the wire that gets installed between the 7 friction disk and steel plates and the 1 friction plate all the way in the closest to the internal engine. I did not get the perfect installation on this and was concerned. He said he spoke with Yamaha top clutch engineer and he said you really don't need it. I feel better about it and the clutch works great so far.

    I have the same year model bike, and IMO those new style bearings are a pos, have had 2 of them go out on me, The reason I say this is the fact that the radial layout of the needles relative to the washers,(races), the outer ends of the needles need to roll over more distance than the inner ends which is ok if there is no load, however under load of the clutch springs either the inner or outer ends will be skidding on the races rather than rolling. If they were ball bearings it would be ok as they can track in a circle, but needles only track in a straight line.

      It’s an 05 Dyna Super Glide Custom EFI , I bought it a couple months ago. I brought it to the dealer who supposedly went through the whole bike. I rode 10 days ago. Got towed home, jumped it and it fired up. I left it on charge and the next day it wouldn’t start. Changed the battery which was shot and it fired up. I went to the gas station, topped my tank off stopped home and it never started again. I changed the plugs 2X , they first I pulled out were original Harley plugs.

      It's really hard to diagnose from a recording. Does it make a noise when you turn it off? Does it make a noise at idle. If it clunks when you turn it off, it is probably a compensator that's loose.

      Look at "Building a Kickstarter for the Flathead 80." It's the same as the newer ones. Big twin four speed kickstarters are pretty much the same. There are a few updated parts. Be sure you buy parts for your year and model. It's easier to go through our list of videos on a computer as opposed to a phone.

    MIKE!!! thanks so much for the videos. I appreciate your mentorship.
    I just replaced my second throwout bearing in 2 days. This is super discouraging. I have a 75 FLH (now a swingarm chopper) with matching trani. It's late 75 so it has the late style oil slinger. I'm thinking about running the old witch hat slinger. What are your thoughts on this? I really don't want to take this apart again for a while after I replace it. - More info: I installed the entire kit like you did in this video. I have the adjustment screw adjusted properly. (Screwed in until you can feel pressure then back off ~1/4 turn.) My spring plate is 1 1/32. Everything should be good. What are your thoughts??

    • @pacificmike9501
      @pacificmike9501  4 года назад

      It sounds like something else is wrong, maybe the angle of the clutch arm. Maybe you're running the cable too tight. I don't mean to offend, but I treat myself the same way. I start over and go all the way through. Something is hanging up somewhere. Once you figure that out, step up. There is a kit that allows you to install the early throwout bearing in your transmission. It includes the bearing, the pushrod and kicker gear for the early bearing to ride on. The major suppliers of aftermarket parts for old Harleys carry them. The old setup was really hard to wear out.
