     Uk_blast |
Hi all, Having one of the few blasts in the UK technically help is difficult as local Harley dealers don't have much interest. Anyway,after 20,000 miles the primary side was starting to sound like a bag of rocks. I ordered a new primary chain slipper and spring from Ironmachine in the US. Parts duly arrived, I took the primary casing off and removed the old slipper and spring. The slipper was found to have 3 grooves worn in it due to over adjustment on my part. Trying to fit the new slipper and spring has proved to be impossible due to the strength of the spring and not enough clearance between the slipper and the primary chain, I simply cannot slide the spring and slipper over the locating peg and the other leg of the spring into the whole in the casing. When I have managed to locate a part of the spring in the slipper and in the casing I cant push the slipper into place as the portions of the spring and casing are at such and angle due to the tension on the spring they just simple wont slide fit ( am I missing something the manual). Any suggestions on how to fit the new primary chain slipper and tensioner spring would be greatly appreciated. |
