I'm hoping my colleague joins this group. He's Captain Olsson of the ship I've been working on. He's a long time H-D rider who's rapidly developing an...
Richard that is also another great idea. I will check out the area under my seat or near the tank where I could hide the starting button. ... weather proof...
Hanging around with you he may have to develop an interest in Changs. I just took mine on a rain ride and it's hard to beat for local fun riding. Regards, ...
I wonder if it would not have saved you a piston if you had rejetted earlier. The way you were compensating by staying away from wide open throttle was...
It might have. I had been running sustained WFO on a hot day, straight pipes and stock jets, and that was all she wrote. I can't say enough good stuff about...
Is there anyone in the US who can supply a Chang seat? I am looking for one for a Dnepr project and one for use on a Triumph chopper. Can anyone send me...
I asked this question before but no one responded so I'll try again. Since the alteranator on the Changs is a weak point, has anyone fitted a BMW alternator to...
Hi All, Looks like I've got a bad cam bearing in my OHV. The engine has a slight jump in the same spot on every rotation that causes the distributor to lash...
I forgot to mention that I can't find any discernible alignment marks on the timing gears. Does anyone know where they are and what they look like? I can...
If the DC elecrtic motor on my electric Dnepr could become a generator when needed for regenerative brakeing, why couldnt the starter on an M1M become a...
Humm, Since you have tried other distributors I'd wonder about runout in the cam drive gear. At one point somebody posted on how to tear that down. Seems like...
Some stuff used to use starter generators, IE the starter turned into a generator after starting. No idea how that was wired. When you test a generator by...
-The generator on mt Indian 841 is mounted exactly like the starter on an M1M. It doesnt have roller brgs. Just bushings. Works just fine. I also have a...
... marks on the timing gears. Does anyone know where they are and what they look like? See if the cam and crank keyways are aimed at each other at +/_TDC. ...
G'day Alex, I had a problem with mine earlier this year which sounds like the one you have. It turned out the channel in the timing gear which slides over the...
As I said, those early switches also require a mechanical switch, for the lights and operated by a cable, which is housed in the headlamp on a bracket. Later...
Although I may agree with you, I do not believe this is an appropriate venue for expousing political/personal opinions on non- chang related issues. Gary . ...
Something I learned recently you old hands will probably say "but of course" but you newbees like me may be interested in: In that I saw that the compression...
I have a M1M Super, over head cam 32 hp CJ750. I have noticed a lot of smoke out one side of my bike's exhausts, and the plug on that side keeps getting fouled...
Hi Dan, While its true that you could somehow alter an M1M Changs one-way starter clutch to become just a gear, I think that the gear ratio involved...
Compared to some bikes this is duck soup. I'd just pull the head, jug, and piston and take them over to a good machinist. They can check the vlave guides for...
George, You are being rational again. That's a good point, I haven't had any trouble with mine since I lowered the demand. It would be nice to have a bit...
He probably resents my signature, too, Jim.SK Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped. -Elbert Hubbard ... From: James Tye...
Yes Richard, that was me. I had been letting that embarrassing little memory fade away though. I remembered straight after I made the last post that the ...
Richard, Someoe told me its as simple as replacing a seal , but its more complacated than that, right? Ernst, Springfield, TN ... From: Richard Cook To:...
If it is a failed valve seal that is possible. I'm not even sure what Changs have for seals yet on OHVs. When the day comes I have mine apart I'll probably...
