I'll probably be tearing it down this weekend if I've got the time. If I do, I'll throw up some pics of the chain guides and you can let me know If you want them.

Sorry to anyone I missed on here. I didn't get the email notifications I had been looking for. I took some stuff off today and next week I plan on tearing down the engine just because I can. So if anyone is looking for internal parts for the engine or trans. Let me know. This bike did run for...

Unfortunately they are already gone. Sorry about that. I didn't think to put that up on here

Here's a couple pics of the tach

Unfortunately it's a 16, and I'll get a pic of the tach here in a bit for you

Located in Chicopee MA. I'm parting out this bike. I've put enough time and effort into this thing. It was supposed to be a quick, cheap get running bike or i was gonna let it go. And now i am. What you see is what it is. Let me know what you want off of it, I'll let you know a price. It'll...

I am not moving quick on this at all. And this time forgot pics. But I put a regular oil filter on her. Filled up the crank case and tried to start it up. And the starter clutch was slipping. Upon further inspection, I found it was cracked. Busted out the dremel and welder. Ground out 80 percent...

So I'm getting closer to being able to see if my sweet JB Weld repair will hold. My starter clutch wasn't working and since I'm now at a lack of a kick start, I had to fix it. On a random thought/last ditch effort, I rented the pulley puller kit for a Chevy power steering pump that I've used on...

I am cautious, when its finally running good and registered, I've got a 17 mile commute to work and if it fails it wouldn't be too far to get to my pickup and scoop it up. I plan on running it alot, quite a few warm up and cool down cycles, to get it to expand and contract and see what happens...

Well, we will see if it works here in a couple weeks. Since its on the back of the case I figured it wouldn't see much stress or major temps being on the opposite end of the cylinders. I've done JB on cracks in small engine cases before with satisfactory results. But this isn't a crack. I'm...

So I finally pulled the engine today. And patched up my hole. Outside and inside. Patch pieces, cuz it needed some material to fill the hole. I used some thin aluminum sheet I got at the local hardware store After I bolted on the pieces and laid some JB Weld in between the layers of...

Those were my thoughts on it. And I do have a friend who is a professional welder and loves to TIG, but doesn't have a TIG welder, and I trust no one besides him and my self to work on my stuff. So JB Weld it is.

I took the clutch cover off this morning. To my surprise, this is what I found. It's not broken!! It looks to me that the cam looking piece somehow smashed into the back of the case hard enough to punch a hole in it. The whole kickstart gear slid right out with practically no tension on the...

O yeah, I plan on checking into mine before I think about buying anything for it. My goal is to get this thing running well, reliably, and get it street legal as cheap as possible. So if I feel the case has enough structural integrity to justify some JB weld and run it. That will be my route...

I've not even dug into it yet to see if there is further cracking or anything in the case. But being a man of logic, everything everyone is saying makes perfect sense to me. I run up I 87 pretty much every single day so its pracrically on my way. What would you want for it if it turns out I...

No, my thighs are more.... sapling size I guess. I ain't a big dude. I felt, if anything, I wasn't kicking it hard enough to get her go in lol. And thanks for the offer at least. I'm going to try to get outside today and get the clutch cover off to see if the kickstart journal is broken. I'm...

I've read down probably 20 threads about kickstarters and their journals and It crossed my mind that what you said may have happened, but no one mentioned it knocking a hole in the back of the case. My feeling is you are probably right. I'll have to pull the clutch cover to verify, but at...

So here's goes my first post. I picked up a 1980 Special for 120 bucks. I was told by the P.O. that he had no idea the last time it ran, but it felt like it had good compression guessing by kicking it. Guy has been building track bikes and stuff for years so I trusted his judgment. Got her...
