Engine rattle, I don't know what it is.

What ever it is it will go boom if you dont get to it and fix it. This isn't an area you can ignore.

Yeah, it's getting done this weekend, no worries.

Got really busy and just now gotten around to this.

This is what I found.

I really really detest whoever owned this bike before me.



It was missing one, and the other two are rounded off AND cross threaded...

Would it be easier to replace the side cover, or maybe tap those out?

I have a winch going to the ceiling of the garage...that's MY center-stand, lol.

No one has any input?

I'm going to take out those screws and maybe getting some hex head cblts to fit in there instead, and get a tap and chase those threads, hopefully I can clean them up.

Hi,

Do you have an impact driver for those stator screws? I usually put my stator screws in with a drop of red Lock-tite. Is that missing screw rattling around in your engine case somewhere? Or was it never re-installed? Replacing the screws is a great idea. That stator looks kind of toasty. Do I see melted insulation on the windings?


Thank you for your indulgence,

I was mistaken. My buddy took the cover off when I stepped in the house, and apparently the third screw was in the hole but wasn't threaded . That's scary, so glad it didn't bounce around in the case.

I know the screws are cross threaded because the stator is loose, but the screws are "tight".

I'll definitely get an impact driver.


:EDIT:


Also, to be honest, I don't know what a good "used" stator is supposed to look like, lol.

I have several covers that i know 100% have no thread damage..all from 77 and 78 750s. If you can verify that one will work I would gladly box one up and send it off.. free. Just want to lower the cluster level in all these boxes..PM me with what you find out and leave me the info as to where to send one. Oh and im have seen coils with the blacker winding insulation.Long as the stator is charging from all 3 legs dont worry about that.
