  • In the first episode of our attempt to get Wildfire running we got 'er to start, but there were a number of issues to address before calling it a running bike. The pushrods were extremely loose and the fuel tank still had rust, which was wreaking havoc on the petcock and carb.
    This time around, we got the fuel tank sorted, but ran into more trouble with the carb and pushrods. Watch to see how we finally got it running and riding!

    Thanks for the memories. I built that back in 1973. Did you find my "G" or my 3/4 socket? That bike has history, miles, stories only me and Wildfire know... there is a reason for the name..

    Cool ride. My right knee went into convulsions when she kicked back Memories of my '65 XLCH with a Hunt mag.

    Gotta clean the tank more. When you think it’s clean, do it again. Then 2 more times after that and coat the inside. Ultrasonic clean the carb too. Thorough work and patience is the only way. Sick bike. Ol gal needs to major lovin

    With a magneto you need to spin the motor. Start your kick just past TDC. Works much better.
    Nice motor on this sled.

    Back in the day I had Sportster leg so bad that when I would walk into a tavern people would ask me what year XLCH I was riding. It made my leg hurt just watching your Shovel kick back on you. Nice looking bike you have there.

    Well I've learned one thing after Owen and Pan heads and shovel heads that when you kick start them and you kick that pedal down hold it down do not let it come backup hold it down and it will be a whole lot easier on your knee

    Just went through a similar issue with my 68 ironhead. Finally pull the cam gears and and retimed oil pump and and cams and bingo. After years of fighting this thing it was cam timing and oil pump breather all along. Cool bike and cool video.

    I have several shovels and ironheads, usually buy them DOA, everything is suspect so I tear em down to the crankpin and build em back up. heard noises in your vid, either broken valve spring or grenaded rollers on lifter.

  • @ronaldcooper7609
    @ronaldcooper7609 2 года назад +12

    After adjusting hydraulic pushrods on one cylinder, you must wait until the lifters bleed down before you turn engine for adjustment of other cylinder. The rods can bend if you don't.

    @godfellas483 2 года назад +2

    Should have watched a few shovelhead videos before trying to start it. Clean the plugs, and set the timing before you try to start it. If you straddle the bike. you'll be less likely to slip off the kick starter. The kick starter needs to be re clocked also.

    Hi guys. When you were kicking it over there it seems kinda sluggish. Is the clutch ok, not dragging? Love to see the old bikes though. Keep it up.

    Instead of using sandpaper to 'clean' sparkplugs use a blow torch and burrn away oil and carbon. This is a much better method..
