go watch some of my panhead bike videos. with over 6000 videos, i have shown most things at least once already. tatro

@@TatroMachine I will search again. Seen the mechanical stuff. I guess it’s basic bleed 101. Thanks for all your videos. Keeping it alive. Keep on trucking bro.

Very true. I have been following and watching him for years. I have learned so much. I love old Harley’s and unfortunately my dad passed away when I was 13 so I haven’t had anyone to show me the things I’m interested in. Tatro vids assisted me into completely rebuilding his 77 shovelhead. Rebuilding the transmission was the hardest but tatro has a really good video on how to line those dogs up. Buying the specific specialty tools is tremendously cheaper than having someone do them. I even bought a lathe about 15 years ago and it’s been a godsend on building and repairing old bikes. I’m getting ready to swap out the primary is why I’m back on this video. 99% sure I remember it all but it’s extremely nice to have this free available content to freshen my memory

i wouldn't say that. i have gotton more picky on my work. i like making things the best i can. tatro

@@TatroMachine 🙂👍

I know it is kind of off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released movies online ?

@Benicio Raylan i watch on Flixzone. Just google for it =)

@Maddox Dustin yea, been using flixzone for years myself :)

@Maddox Dustin Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!

@Benicio Raylan Happy to help =)

with a chain drive you don't need much because the oil will do its job just after you start the motor. on a belt drive you need to grease it up real good. tatro

usually because it spun on the shaft or you had the key in the wrong spot. tatro

time for some new plates. tatro

I just replaced a 3 finger spool with a 5, when steel fingers get worn badly the surging can't be ajusted out. You mention it when installing friction plates "no binding" simple but alluded me for years. I have 73 flh bought in 88. You never did show the final clutch cable ajustment, my through rod over to the kicker seems to be portruding to much and was hoping to avoid pulling kick cover off, it won't pull out so clip and sm bearing must be still attached. I learn from all your vids and appreciate the info, bet your retired Air Force ?

sleeve retainer on the taper and red on the threads. tatro

its a harley, everything can be off. tatro

I put a solid in mine years ago without issue

those are the minimum dimensions for the springs. back them off some to make things easier to work. sounds like the throw-out bearing is not working very well. tatro

come on, can't you do anything simple. take a tape measure and measure the diameter of the shaft. thin for the hard one. put the tape measure over the threads and count how many threads per inch you have. tatro

Tatro Machine, sorry to bother you

you just need to use your brain and think. not everything is complected if you break it down to simple task. this was a very easy task that you can do yourself. that is what learning is all about. tatro

you are correct on that. tatro

that would be .010 or ten thousandths of an inch verses you 1/32" which is just over .032 thousandths. a house is alot bigger then a bike so the numbers are different. tatro

i have not seen problems with primary chains with big motors. i only use the diamond square link plate chains or the oem harley ones. make sure that you have atleast 3/8" to 1/2" chain slack. also make sure that your sprockets are aligned. any offset in your sprockets will kill the primary chain. i use the 85w maxima primary oil but atf will work to. tribodyn 75w90ls oil will work to but you have to be carful with synthetic oils. they do not always play friendly with the clutch plates. tatro

@Tatro Machine thanks Keenan, I'll double check my alignment once I install my new Evolution Industries clutch basket.

that is how harley made them. you could cut the starter adapter or primary boss to get more engagement. tatro

if you ride like an old fart but not for me. tatro

Sorry, I was just wondering if one could ride without a compensator and what you gain without one. Maintaining the same Lowrider for 35 years and like to learn from your videos.

what cleaning rig? tatro

It was missing the lock tab

@@carlproia5477 I forgot to put the lock washer on the main chain adjuster bolt one time and it cracked the back of the primary. anyone reading this beware, there is not enough clearence back there to put it on without the lock washer on that bolt. Don't make that mistake.

yes and i know how to use it. i also know how to tighten things without one. tatro

@@TatroMachine no one is that good, I have more experience than you . In doing it right and not sloppy

thats fine but my sloppy ass bikes get the speed records so i will go my way. tatro

Well said Tatro!! Love your videos.
