some fine fellow posted a pic with dimensions of a hunk of aluminum used to keep the engine from rotating while removing the drive pulley and primary drive sprokets -- since I don't remember what said fellow called it, my attempts to use the search function have given me a greeat deal of pleasure in finding lots of things I'm not looking for, but no hit on the tool can anyone help a middle-aged burnout? thanks a million! |

Bomber, I have actually utilized a folded up towel wedged into the primary chain. Its cheezy but works great. |

Do a search for the last 18 hours, someone posted another pic of it. It is 4" long if that is the main dimension you need, I think it was 3/4" wide or so, based upon my variable memory, the dimensional thickness varies with my memory. Hope this helps. |

4"x1.5"x3/8" 99x1 posted it just recently in the Knowledge Vault - Primary Drive section. Looks like almost any width would work. |

I find that the traditional red shop rag works better that the fancy embroidered dish towels from the kitchen! rt |

Wider is better, that way you can catch all three teeth wide on both the drive and clutch. Less chance of deforming a tooth.... |

and goodness knows, at my age (and thing's as well) we need to take care of our teeth! thing, I was recently informed that christmas was over, I didn't need to decorate the house, and that, in any case, aluminum swarf most definately did NOT equal tinsel -- thought you might be able to relate btw, are those fancy dish towels EVER used for anything? |

Bomber, I can relate. I have recently been asked ordered to disrobe in the garage before returning to the house after my metal-butchering sessions. BTW, I built a new toy I want to show you. Film at eleven. rt |

Shop rag and impact won't work when you are torqueing to proper spec putting back together. |

I personally use the nylon remains of an old primary chain adjuster. Just jam it in between the teeth and the chain then torque it down.. It works very well |

Newfie: It's a little motor that runs on compressed air. The flywheel is in the middle, the cylinders hang off the sides, and the cranks are the little brass wheels above the cylinders, which oscillate on pivots as the cranks spin. You can see one of the pivots under the flywheel, it's got a spring compressed between a couple of washers to hold the cylinders against the frame but still allow them to move. As the cylinders wobble back and forth, they uncover (and cover) intake and exhaust ports that let compressed air in and out, that's what drives the pistons down in the bores. For reference, the whole thing is about 4" wide, the flywheel is about 2.75" in diameter, bores are .5" and stroke is .75". Here's another look:
There was nothing good on TV this winter, so I've been playing in the shop... rt Topic Police: Please note the red "engine immobilization tools" that form the backdrop for the pix--that's what makes them relevant to this thread! |
