First post

On my way to pick up my grandkids this morning, the engine started making a racket. Got a tow home, pulled the head, and found a chunk of metal in the #2 cylinder. Upon looking closer, there is a chunk of the #2 exhaust valve seat missing, the same size as the piece of metal I found. Is it possible to replace one valve seat with the engine in the...

Last post

The engine ran fine before the valve seat came apart. I may not be a smart man, but I DID number the valves, and labelled EVERYTHING so I could put it back together exactly as it came apart. The affected valve has no marks on it, but I will change it just the same. I'm taking the valves down to the machine shop with me to make sure I get the right...

You have to start with everything clean, then use detergent oil and those deposits won’t form unless something is seriously wrong.

I installed a Fun Projects Hot Shot (John Regan) battery charger on my 1917 Touring. It converts the AC from the magneto into pulsating DC and will charge a 6 or 12 volt battery at 2 - 2.5 amps, like a trickle charger.

These pieces, referred to as Frame Cowl Assembly....are they just screwed to the inside surface of the sills or are they notched? The parts book isn't clear on this, and my sills are replacements anyway so there's no mounting holes to reference.

Embarking upon a rear axle assembly rebuild and this pinion gear is on here tight enough to give the cheapo harbor freight puller fits. Not wanting to ruin anything and being ready to man up for the right tool for the job, what gear puller would you recommend for this particular application? Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Take off the nut, turn it around, and put it back on just far enough to be even with the end of the shaft. There should be a little space between the nut and the gear. Then do this:

Do you fill the rear end to the bottom of the fill hole thank you mike

The early Owner's Manual didn't specify the lube amount for the rear axle housing, but only supplied a drawing with the note to fill with grease , that did lead to overfill and leaking. The fill plug was at mid-line of the housing on these.

If your internal oil line is clogged it will starve the timing gears for oil. Most external oil lines dump the oil behind the gears so your bearings will survive but the gears will grind themselves up. Ask me how I know this.
