FWIW, aircraft nuts are "nyloc." There is also a "high temp" lock nut that is used firewall forward and on brakes, etc. I would say that a high temp nut would be better in this application, but not knowing how hot the transmission gets, that would only be throwing a dart.

Nyloc=same same.

I thought the pawl spring issue was due to any incorrect boss or something? They break even with the correctly sized boss.

You have a whole drawer full of copper hammers, and you're using a steel hammer??

I've been using that for about.. uhh.. 50 years.

I told Dorcia how much I missed the grand kids, and I really *needed* to go see them in October..

I know a kid that just bought a silver V11. He'll take it. He just lunched some bearing shells.

Yea..

I wouldn't kick it out of bed for being red.

The Mobil 1 V twin ^^^^^^is rated SG . Actually, Valvoline dino motorcycle oil is SG, too. I run it in the Monza. I get Motul 10-60 on Amazon for the Mighty Scura and AeroLario for around 11 a liter. That said, my gut feeling is that the Mobil 1 15-50 is probably ok, but I'll stick with an SG rated oil. It's cheap compared to bourbon.

Both surfaces might be a little overkill..

^^^^^ yeah, there are some organic shapes to the LeMans for sure.

Joe and I tried the usual tricks, and ended up welding and jacking those suckers out of there. good luck!

Only the carb sport is a "spot."

Actual weights might fool you. It did me..

For sure, the 1100 spot has 3.

If you didn't have any problem getting it out, you won't have a problem getting it in. Just use a couple of long bolts for alignment.. you won't turn it after it's (gently) tapped home.

So, are we going to finally see a complete and tested conversion kit? I'm not going to do it until riding season is over. Maybe Footgoose will be the pioneer, and I can copy what he does. (no thinking, my kind of job)

I've been to that turn off many times. Unfortunately, not *that* time.

"normally" that's true. Get the wrong tolerance stack up during manufacture, though, and you'll sing a different tune.

I'm 99% sure that my Centauro had 4 relays. I told a guy to get 5 one time, and he bitched me out because it only needed 4 and he'd spent $3 too much. (Guzzi content) I told him that if one fails you'll have a spare right in your tool kit. This is back in the olden days of course.

Thanks for the pix.

(D) Find another shop.

∆∆∆∆ Gordon knows his stuff.

Are the originals likely to pack up on me? It's only 4 days, thing is I'm taking a small rucksack with clothes etc in, not really wanting to take much in the way of tools. I take it relays are easy to get at? Yes, they are easy to get at. Just take the seat off and you are looking at them. Will one fail if it's the OEM relay? Probably not, but maybe. It would only take a minute to put the new relays in.
