Sheared tacho sleeve

[mcloud]

Is the sleeve end threaded or just tight fit?
How can I remove broken half in motor head?
Thanks in advance guys.

I can't see anything.

It's threaded if it's the bit I think it is.

I would try to knock it around with a screwdriver or chisel. (knock a slot into it then change the angle to hit it round anti-clockwise)

Is this one better?
It's part 25 from the Haynes exploded view.
Only 1/8 in. wall thickness. I'm afraid to do more damage.

If you take the valve cover off you may be able to get some grips on it from the inside.... or thinking about it, remove that little bracket & screw & pull the whole assembly, deal with it on the bench!

You can replace the O ring when you put it back too. The assembly is a push fit not threaded, just the cable is threaded.

I was going to replace the seals because of oil leak when I realized the PO messed it up. Should have checked before ordering the parts LOL.
Push fit makes sense, otherwise they'd be no holder with screw.
Bass did a pictorial on that replacement, can't find it.

I will try pulling it out, now that I know it's not threaded. Still wandering how PO managed to break it.

Hi Mr. mcloud,

That's Mr. bwringer's tutorial on the tach seal replacement. You'll find it on his GS website: http://www.bwringer.com/gs


Thank you for your indulgence,

OOps. Thanks Bass, I will look it up again.\\/

Lucked out

Can't pull it out. The portion stuck in the head got flared from the inside out by the spindle.
I could see very well once I removed the valve cover. Will post pics tomorrow.
While I had the valve cover off, decided to check clearance on shims.
That's when I saw the PO crossthreaded the spark plug on cylinder 3:shock:.

AAAArrfffff!!

Left the shed door unlocked on purpose, if I'm lucky, someone will steal it! LOL

Sometimes I think

I actually saved my GS1100ED from my PO's hand of destruction. :shock:Looks like you might have done the same. :-D.

That's the same cylinder as mine... sucks. I had spent several hours trying to scrape off the valve cover gasket because it seemed like the original one that was cemented on. Even spraying on gasket remover barely helped! lmao
I hope you don't have to replace the head too.

Hi Mighty13d,

I'm debating if I fix both problems with changing head or fix them independantly (flared tacho sleeve and stripped threads):?. PO did a lousy job on PM.
I'm opening a new can of worm everytime I change a seal or clean a part.
Confidence on the GS I picked up here is what makes me go on with resto.
