Is that normal for that particular front end or did you make some kind of adjustments to the springs to raise the front of the bike a little ?

    Great video I've had a time with my linkert on my 57 panhead, after 6 time's off and on I think I have the seals sealed..noticed you run 20x50 oil , I researched till I went cross-eyed and said hell with it and put 20x50 in it. I can't find the Karo syrup around here that I think it calls for, like 70 weight or something crazy. Hope it's OK to run.

    • @BillyLaneChoppers
      @BillyLaneChoppers  4 месяца назад

      Check for air leaks with starting fluid around your intake manifold before trying to tune the Linkert. If air leaks aren’t your problem, check float adjustment, & make sure someone hasn’t put the wrong needles in your carb body.

    • @waynemorgan3095
      @waynemorgan3095 4 месяца назад

      @BillyLaneChoppers Thank you. I'll check the needle, it's running smooth now. I couldn't get those seals to seal for some reason. I thought about trying the wide seals but wasn't sure. Heard good and bad on them, too. Thanks again for the tip

    • @BillyLaneChoppers
      @BillyLaneChoppers  4 месяца назад +1

      @@waynemorgan3095 Glad to learn that it has smoothed out. When the Linkert Model M was designed, gasoline was leaded & had a typical octane rating of 55. They weren’t designed to run on unleaded, high octane fuels. So temper your expectations, but know that you can get fairly reasonable reliability and consistency with your L&L. Good luck

    I notice you're not using the yellow fuel resistant teflon tape. Does the white stuff work fine for gas tanks? I've been using the yellow version for petcock threads, but ti's thicker and not as easy to work with as the white stuff. Thinking I should go back to the white stuff is that's what Billy is using.
