As of now both my Pan, Sporty, and Truck are all running and driving. Im a happy camper here, and hope there are others in the same boat

also if it persists after you refill tank and ride the bike normally and often, i would adjust the engine breather screw. i dunno what oil pump youre running but i run the ol iron pump and my screw...

sorry, i did omit that my cable is a external pull only type. my throttle cable bracket is a homemade. if anyone is interested i can try to post a pic of it. but currently my set up does not allow...

i also have a stock 74, but a very mild cam, no headwork, and i run straight 70wt oil. i have my idle and main mixtures set just fine and only set them when the bike was hot, i get a nice cinnamon...

i do have the pull only external cable, it does not want to return my throttle further than 1/4 open when i take the spring off of it. ideally i would run the internal push pull wire version that...

JBinNC hmmm thanks for your advice again, i used to run a friction spring screw in my throttle but i took it off because, and i don't know if this is common, but mine actually tightened itself and i...

i learned when i rebuilt my last bike that changing many things at once in terms of the fuel delivery and ignition and carb can lead to chasing headaches like this. what i did was strip the bike and...

i am an idiot and i know nothing, but i hope you greased the hell out of that shaft before putting it or another one back in, because that spot gets very little natural lubrication. my shaft was...

who knows if you still have the ratchet gear if it was converted to E start but if it were me i would look for orignal harley parts. V twin stuff just dont cut it usually, it aint bolt on. there was...

I am an idiot and know nothing but you said your kicker pedal was stuck at one point. that happened to me once and i opened her up and ended up rebuilding the whole tranny. dont want to overlook...

theres an over priced site out there called revival cycles that sells this stuff, but youll probably have to make one

I appreciate all yall's answers to my question, i think I'll leave it alone and just be better about warming up to full OT before going anywhere. this is my first pan and I am learning that they are...

flatman, thanks I did doctor my throttle shaft already and replaced the old worn bushings so that problem is gone. If i simply wait til she's good and hot before setting my idle and taking off, then...

JBinNC, thanks, I would have added one awhile ago but i forgot to mention in my orignal post that I am running the stock 3.5 tanks so there is not alot of room in the envelope. it would have to be a...

Tattooo, thanks I have a very light throttle spring on there, but i have the external pull cable so would it return w/o the spring?? it wont hurt to take it off and try so thats what I'll do...

Budhahoodvato, thank you, i replaced my throttle bushings and throttle shaft so what else would there be to work on there?

Hi yall,
I ride a 52 FL which is mostly stock except for the cam and some minor mods to the internals of the carb to get more gas into it at higher speeds, running a M74B. It runs very well and...

Tattooo you are definitely right and thanks for the reply...and now that ive done a little more research about finding the parts i think it wont be hard to get one easily

Hello everyone,
I just picked this up in complete condition minus carb and primary/left side cover for a super deal. wondering if anyone knows if i can run it w/o the cover? this thing looks like...

front end maybe 10 over. not sure! @skatefocus55 I'm gonna use your bike as my inspiration if I end up getting a second sporty soon. Super cool stance!

Hey Sporty owners and CCers!

Like many of you I am cheap, and want to give my iron a bit more stopping power! But I am a shadetree mechanic, and while my methods may be good enough for me,...

88453Hey there,

I put this SU on my bike and went crazy looking for an air leak since when I kick it, there’s this slight hissing sound on the compression strokes. So I found this lil hole drilled...

thanks, I'll check out those threads

and as I said before I was getting that dyna s ignition to "replace" my points. it arrived the other day, I installed it and could feel a noticeable difference...

I have since installed a little circuit breaker that will shut the bike off if anything starts to burn up. I do not think it was a 5ohm coil. the light switch is just hi/lo beam, but the wiring on...
