steppenwolf Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Got all my parts now,coils,cam chain,cam plugs,plugs,wires,carb kits,valve cover gasket,starter button:)button fell off two years ago..cut the end off of a bic pen cap,stuck it in the hole,a bit of electrical tape and ya couldn't see it,but time to do it right. Have a 750 rear end coming also,geared higher,the 1100 has plenty of low end so I'll be alright just looking for lower rpm's on the road. Need to get the work done before the cows come home and the snow flies,gets cold in the garage,carbs can be brought inside so they are the last to be done next to timing.In the winter I ride the rails but they need to be plowed also..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frBh5vO_2g0&feature=fvw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenwolf Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Kick stand is down and trying to get bike back up to speed,cam chain,coils,valves set and carb rebuild but things must always be done the hard way as two bolts were just a pain in the arz.Things went a little rough today with my bike and the ripping of it's cam chain out.Two lowly bolts kept Doug and Don at bay for hours as various means were used to get the job done,many trips to the hardware store and one to Mc Donalds...the first one kinda left the valve cover a bit of a mess and the second one.....many..many..many words were thrown at my bike with no sucess till the offending bolt was finally drilled out and a perma coil was put in after much effort...it ran when I brought it in but now it sits next to it's brother wondering where I am:eek:Poor thing must feel like it is at the SPCA:)Lots of hard work done by Doug and Don and now the easy work will begin...so what did I do.... yuppers.........Girls cover your eyes..I am nakid.....It may not look like much but is was son of a gun...Just like Michael Jackson..the gloved one:cool:Lots of different ways were used to get my two bolts loose..Strange hole in the front of my engineTo be continued:)_________________I know a little about alot and alot about little...should be in politics.Last edited by amtrak on Sun Oct 11, 2009 9:48 pm; edited 1 time in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steppenwolf Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Give report later about my carb rebuild after 30 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenwolf Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Bike is running good after carb rebuild,sync and color tune..kinda was pushing it after 30 years:) can only take soo much Seafoam:drink:Could cause a slight fuel starvation problem..Had to get out monster reading glass too see what main jets I had..they changed from year to year..had 110,tried 120 and a modified air box but went back to stock,felt better..Have two diaphrams that have tiny tears in them,plan on replacing this sunday..Purdy dag gone clean...Right on...Biggest bang for the buck were the hot coils,carb rebuild and then cam chain...it's running good,one thing about these older bikes is don't put the energy conserving oil in them your clutch may slip when ya start cranking some rpm's....

max power Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 BTW, put the bike repair stuff up on the main site. The guys actually like to see bikes being dissembled and successfully reassembled. Here is the how to section: http://www.ohioriders.net/forumdisplay.php?f=76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
