Rasputin

Boney M.

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

(Spoken
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.

"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"

RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

(Spoken Oh, those Russians...

right after came this

Ready to get it fired up?

[GateKeeper]

Ready to get it fired up?

almost.....throttle cable is on, choke is on, need to install the clutch cable

and

going to go through the nuts and bolts holding the engine, valve cover, and so on,,,,,actually I still need to check on the valves, but they should be OK, put oil into the motor, and hook up an IV bottle with gas, and give it a shot...

maybe today after work, if I get the chance, if not, it will be sometime this week....

how did you make out with your oil pan gasket, did you make one, did the one you ordered come in ? is your bike ready to rock and roll ?...

clutch adjustment

So I put the clutch cable back on, and reading the manual on how to adjust, I got confused, it's been a while, so I am not sure if I did it right....

it says to loosen the lock nut and adjust the clutch play by turning the adjuster in or out to acquire the specified play 4mm

then tighten the lock nut while holding the adjuster in position

now this 4mm play is it how much the cable itself travels ? as seen in my pictures, or is this 4mm play somewhere else ?

Thanks

this shows the brass end all the way in




here I have pulled on the cable, and it moves up and out as you can see in the picture below, is that the 4mm play they are talking about ?

[platinum2]

4mm of movement at the hand lever gk. at the cable side of the lever, not the end

[platinum2]

heres another adjustment! make sure the cable has half on each side at the case, then adjust the set screw in the case, then the lever,and it shoud work well
you want adjustment at all 3 places but 4mm at the perch/lever in the picture

[platinum2]

i have a video b4 and after jetting gk if you want to see it ill load it i have lots to do yet
