4. Remove the two 6 mm cylinder base bolts. 5. Loosen each of the four large cylinder base bolts 1/4 turn at a time in a criss-cross pattern until loose and remove bolts. NOTE: The bolts are inside the water jacket. |
Oh crap. Yes - I have the manual, but I missed the 4 bolts in the water jacket. For crying out loud - I’m cursing like a sailer. OPT - u saved the day again!
... back to work... |
If you cracked the cylinder I didn't exactly save the day for you.. :rolleyes: Oh well you said you were planning on replacing it as a kit..

The kit I’m looking at has a new tensioner plus the cylinder. The chain slipped again - so I’m assuming it’s the tensioner. Timing was not off, but chain was lined up the way I had set it before. |
If you're going to all that trouble order a new chain. Especially if the chain feels the least bit loose or the tensioner is all the way out.

That's what I was thinking too. Chains stretch over time and it would be easier to change it now than to go back and do it later.

Can you remove the chain without having to pull the flywheel?

I found a video on using the balance harmonica - is there a better way to hold the flywheel in place than a strap?
