    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My Tach. does not work, and it seems like I will ned this to test the functioning. I assume that based on the overall Tach I can figure out what 4000 would be like. How imparative of the testing process is this at exactly 4000rpm?

Also, is it possible to use RTV instead of the gasket?
 
Hi,

A tach is not critical. Just make sure you are charging at 14.5v or so when you rev it up.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Well, it's certainly possible, but don't do it. Break down and buy a gasket. You'll probably need an impact driver as well to remove the three screws securing the stator. Even if you get them loose without one, you'll want the impact to reinstall the screws with the new stator in place.

And don't make the same mistake I did: Buy Loctite while you're out shopping and don't forget to use it. Clean the oil, etc out of the screw holes with a shot of ether or something similar, so the theadlocker works correctly.
 
Use the correct Loctite color.
Purple: low strength
Blue: medium (recommended)
Red: High (never remove)
Green: Penetrating

Use Purple or Blue if you use any at all.

when you do the Phase B tests measuring leg to leg voltage (VAC) there is about a 20% difference in voltage between 4K and 5K RPM.
