    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.

Tach Drive

So... replaced tach seals and cable, as well as fork seals, etc...

During the 6 miles to fuel and then work, the tach stopped working. I went home at lunch, pulled off the cable, it's good. However... the tach drive shaft that mates to the cable is broken off the gear.

I buttoned it up tight so as to not replicate the leak I was "fixing," and obviously need to get a new tach drive gear. I suppose i'll replace the seals also, but... is ther a commonly known cause of reinstalling this gear that may have caused this? Something I should watch out for when I reassemble?

Thanks!
Rick
 
You must have put it in a bind somehow to snap it off like that. Was it difficult to install? "Normally" it slides right in, I think it rotates slightly as it goes in.
Was the cable difficult to slip on? That was a significant bind in order to snap it off that quickly.
 
Went right in real easy; just like you said... Slips in, rotates slightly. Cable goes on, no real bind, made sure the slot in the cable lines up with the tab on the shaft.
things that make you go hmmm
 
Hi babes.
Hmmmm.
Yes, be carefull though as the worm drive on the tacho drive meshes in with slots on the exhaust cam shaft so make sure the tacho drive is complete and that nothing has sheared off into the cylinder head...

Xxx
 
That is a good point, Seana23. RickW, I would go ahead and pull the valve cover (I know, I know) and check out the camshaft. The last thing you want to do is damage that bumpstick. Or use a damaged one.
