tree trunks don't work for typing guys....holy f and I'm not even drinking

This from the guy who was seen shimming his needles, while balancing precariously on top of a stone wall, in the near full darkness of the deep forests around Brownie Run Central.......

COP RUNNER still mentions it to this day.unk:

Someone mentioned Starter clutch Bill, that does look like one of the springs holding one of three pucks (so to say) but I couldn't imagine that coming out. But you did have stator problems last year didn't you? That's the only 2 places I can think of that I've seen a spring like that. Good luck.

[johnpclynch]

Only things on the carbs that I can think of that come close are the throttle return spring or the spring on the idle adjustment screw. but it looks too long for either one of those


Is yours the model with the carb chains? it could be a tensioning spring... :biglaugh:

Good thinking JP but Bill has an '85 with the original Version I carb chain tensioning device....the small lead weights suspended from spider wire titanium cables. :blink000:

I enjoy reading whatever tales the guys on here choose to contribute. They usually are some funny stuff, and sometimes you learn something useful from what they post.

i agree with ed too, one of the starter clutch springs (stuck somewhere else and came about?) or the clutch lever spring. di dyou confirm its still in there?

 

[1st Shirt Maxer]

Check the throttle lever as well. It has a spring like the one you have in your hand, my clutch lever did not have a spring installed so not that important as I have had no issues with my clutch lever.

They are lighter than current versions but all manner of things get stuck to the spider wire so it's a constant maintenance thing. I was looking at Bill's bike at Thunder and noticed how clean his were!:eusa_dance:

 

[marsmax85]

Maybe brake lever side ? I just changed my levers (85') there is a spring of that size but different color..

I also noticed this BB....at several different Brownie Runs. All the rest of us had bugs, road crud, hell, COPRUNNER even had a moldy old possum tail all wound up in one of his wires....yet Bill's were sparkling clean....:hmmm:

I'm beginning to suspect that Bill has a line on an aftermarket spider wire cleaning and rehab process that the rest of us have yet to discover...:confused2:
