Pullstart 59,733 #126 Posted September 29, 2022 This’ll be a good time to do a grease job and oil change! I just ran the grease gun out of the Red-N-Tacky so I’ll load a new one in the morning and get after it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,733 #128 Posted September 29, 2022 I did a little tear down. The exhaust needed to be tightened another turn. When I built this, I never ran many heat cycles before hitting the road for my 2018 Big Show. So, the engine needed to come loose to run another turn into the head.

Pullstart 59,733 #131 Posted September 29, 2022 I figured I should snap some pictures of my 8 speed swap details. I used a 5/8”x3/4” pulley sleeve to run the stock pulley from the 3 speed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,733 #132 Posted September 29, 2022 And the brake side. I believe I bent the brake rod to fit. This was a C-101 8 speed transmission. I am not sure what 502 and what C-101 parts I used any more. Note. There is no parking brake lever still. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted to lighten up the back weight and was thinking of different patterns.

Pullstart 59,733 #150 Posted March 10, 2023 I found this video from 8 years ago. It seems like it was forever ago, and indeed it’s more than half of my kids’ lives back! Somehow, it was the first and only video on a YT channel I started. I never realized I started another one, but here we are. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
