"Right tighty, Lefty loosey" :doh:
At least it should be an easy repair! :yes: :beg:

I have never loosened that bolt. Why it picked now to go, hard telling. At least it was only idling when it went.

Maybe someone needs to send you a new Gremlin Bell!! :whistling:

 

[brianinpa]

I have one.

Given to you or bought? Given bells are supposed to be better.

 

[brianinpa]

Given of course.

 

[mcgovern61]

Brian, do you have a spare cover?

 

[brianinpa]

No... Do you? I was going to wait to see how bad it was before I start shopping.

 

[mcgovern61]

I think I still have the '81 back cover. If I do, it makes a good reason for me to ride up that way! :yes:

I think 80-83 cover will fit.
I may have a spare if Gerry doesn't.

Just got my back tire installed. Now to pull the bike and trailer out to get to the shelves that would be hiding that back cover. Worse case, I gave it to Jersey Dogg.

 

[mcgovern61]

I still have the '81 back cover Brian! Unfortunately, I had to head out of town for work and will not be back for a week. But we will work this out! (More parts to throw in the trailer for another ride!!)

 

[brianinpa]

No problem Gerry. I know the rear case is cracked so I do need it, I just don't have the desire to work in a hot garage in 90+ degrees temps, so I am not rushing.

 

[brianinpa]

I am pretty confident in my mechanical abilities but I was rather worried when I posted this picture:

Turns out that the bright silver line at 12 O'Clock was in fact a crack:

When I saw that after the motor was out, well I became even more worried! I was sure that the stator was toast and I was also thinking that the rotor may be in sad shape but...

So as it appears now, I guess I need the rear case which Gerry has one, the dust cap that was destroyed and the bolt that holds the rotor on the shaft. The threads were a little messed up and I cleaned them up, but I am going to replace the bolt anyway. While I have the rotor off, I amy as well fix that dang starter clutch issue I always deal with in the winter.

Being good has it benefits, but sometimes being lucky is even better! arty:

 

[slabghost]

Looks like it will be fine.

 

[mcgovern61]

I'll get the cover up to you as soon as I can get back from Florida!

 

[brianinpa]

As I wrote before Gerry, no rush.

I think it is time to make them look alike.
