I will go along w/the M/G Cycle gasket sans sealer . AFA the used gasket , hmmmm. When my starter went 3k rpm for 10 mins on two separate occasions , I looked at used ones on eBay and they were asking above retail ...... Yeow. It's not the fool that asks , it's the fool that gives.

It does look perfect . Be prepared to have fun ! I do hope you are some kind of professional . The knowledge will come in handy !

FYI , H-D dealerships operate in the black because of apparel . This salesman said "I can't sell everyone that comes through the door a bike , but they will buy clothing to show they have been here"!

I am thinking there is an improved timing cover gasket available too. Please use a good gasket sealant (Hylomar) when you button everything up and make sure you use a Roper tray on the bottom end . BTW , while you are waiting , start measuring the thickness of things . Anti-freeze jugs , Rubber-Maid products , etc. to get you a non-magnetic feeler gauge !

audiomick , do you have vernier calipers or access to this plasticene Phil talked about? You should be able to get it at Hobby Lobby or some place similar . And AMEN to a sealant upon final assy.

I'll have to think about it . Maybe somebody else will chime in 'til then .

I'm messin' w/ya

Is that a real word ?

The unfortunate reality is #s ...... Browsing / shopping . Sales volume , profit margin and accessories / apparel. Does a MG dealership factor into that ?

AND make sure one of the teeth is in the center of the crank sensor bore . This is critical amd you want to get it right the !st time. You don;t want it close , you want it right.

Paul , I repaired a front caliper on a Yamaha 4-wheeler a few weeks ago . It was seized from corrosion too. I pressed the piston out w/the front brake and started work on it. It took about 20 mins. and assorted pics to dig out everything from the bore of the dust seal and piston seal bore before I was satisfied . I always use Raybestos brand brake assy. lube going back together.

Uhhh , that's life . After all , they all answer to pencil pushers .

Alright , this is what I did . The wire that goes to the starter solenoid you will now connect it to a conventional size relay pin 86 . pin 87 will go to a good ground. pin 30 you can (if it is easy to get to)bolt the hot/battery post of the starter solenoid . if you are going to do anything install a 20a cb there , pin 87 will now go to the start pin on the starter . Draw this out on paper and look at it a minute . When you have your epiphany , get busy , look at where you want to route things and make sure you are happy w/your work . I did this years ago to a 5000 Ford tractor . It kept eating neutral start switches and I first wired around it . After standing next to it and starting it in gear , I fixed it w/this setup.

I am not much on modified MG bikes .

A lot of things "stall" on these forums . Yes the larger relay is the way to go . You want to buy a name brand relay along with a connector. Hella is the first one that comes to mind.
