Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 10. 2021
- As we continue to revive "Elsie," (actually L.C.), the carburetor is done and it's time to install the intake manifold and the rebuilt Linkert carburetor.
HEY! I get to be first on this one! How 'bout that?!? The first to tell Mike how much he is appreciated, and that we are grateful for the information. Very cool stuff, like a good book you just can't put down.
Cool. Thank You.
👍🙂
Congratulations ! It’s like a little victory being first to comment !
Must be awesome to have your knowledge
And I'm sure there's something you know well that I don't. If we all share it a little, we all learn something from each other.
Thanks Mike, great video.
Thank You
Always love stopping by the garage have a blessed week my friends.
Thanks, you too!
Thank you for sharing. Looking good, going together nicely.
Thank You
Have to admit, That carburetor all rebuilt and cleaned up looks sexy...Thanks Mike
Thank You
The road dog aka L.C. Looks better in every new video. Great work from both Mikes.
👍🙂
Thank You
I'm looking forward to hearing this bike running.
Me too.
Nice work Mike there's nothing prettier than a freshly rebuilt carburetor all cleaned up and ready to go I say six kicks to get her started
We should probably get a pool started.
@@pacificmike9501 I'd throw a Fiverr in the pot for that...😁
Thanks, you learned me something today
Glad to hear it!
Can't wait to hear it run Mike, great video....as always.....I think I saw a flathead in the background. We haven't forgotten about that baby. Lol
Me neither. This old Pan is for a friend in need. Can't always be selfish.
@@pacificmike9501 you are good man Mike. And he is lucky to have such a friend.
Love your videos Mike
Thank You
Prue gold Mike. The order of things, the dish soap, the ubiquitous white lithium grease (except on pancakes) all coming together in a great how too. Really enjoyed this one Mike.
Thank You
You shoulda been a singer. Or be an announcer. What a mellow voice ,with timber.
Thank You
Your the Man Mike
"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Rebuilding" should be the name of your next book😁😁
Thank You. I didn't write the first book. Maybe I'll write the "next" book.
A thing of beauty to behold! Thanks again for sharing👍
Thank You
Wish we all could afford an old bike but they don’t make antiques anymore. I love all the old stuff. So beautiful it’s amazing All we have now is cookie cutter crap. At least we can watch you and enjoy them this way
Determination gets it. The cool part about old bikes is they don't take up much space and they're found in the oddest places. People put them away and forget about them. The next generation comes along and finds them. They made a lot of them. Time and determination. The things that cost a lot, just take longer. I know it's not easy. Wasn't easy for me. It took all I could lay my hands on every time. It still takes all I have to keep them running. But, it's a love thing. I'm really pleased that you enjoy our stuff. Thank You.
Much better without the caulk and stuff on the manifold....its becoming a thing of beauty,Mike.....looking forward to hear it come to life
Thank You. Me too. Just doing a minor cleanup and get it running.
That carb is “a thing of beauty and a joy to behold”.
Good job!!
Thank You
I wish the plumber manifolds were as easy as the O ring to install. I reckon I had mine off 15 times before it went right!! The bottom bracket stud is also so much easier to do on a pan opver a knuck with the taller lifter blocks!! haha.
Learn something new (old) every time. This was when factory bikes were a joy to work on. Simple, the only sensor on those was the sense not to by a new one!!!
Interesting
You've been with me (at least your videos 😂) for the last two years doing frame up rebuild of an 81 shovel. Thanks for for great teaching and keep the videos coming.
That's great. Thank You
Hello Mike ! Thank you for this video.
Thank You
Thank you Mr Mike your a great teacher.
Glad you think so!
Great video as usual. I know a lot of guys, including myself, that go to your videos when needing more info for our old bikes.
Good to hear! Thank You
HOWDY Mike,
Pan-Head Intake Manifold install
Thanks for the HINT on the GASKET MATCHING on the CARB to INTAKE throat &
thanks for the HINT on bending the "T"-bolt to conform to the roundness of the intake ...
because they CLAMP so tightly & so perfectly = these are the very SAME Stainless-Steel CLAMPS that I
a) used on my John DEERE Exhaust & Muffler
b) in my Shallow Well PUMP
...
I was surprised to notice that the BRASS Carb Body was THREADED instead of NUTS on one side !
COOP
..................................
Yah, I love that old stuff.
Mike really knows his onions. Can't wait to see this pan when it's finished. The owner is a lucky man to have Mike working on it so methodically.
We're just gonna get it running. No frills, nothing major even opened.
@@pacificmike9501 I thing transforming an old bike that looks externally scruffy into a mechanically sound runner is equally as satisfying as a mint rebuild. All that history absorbed into the patina need not be lost.
Thanks!! Spent the better part of the morning trying to find the magic formula here. I eventually got it but left the exercise thinking, "there must be a better way". I googled 'panhead manifold assembly' and found this. And yes, there is. A much appreciate technique! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Glad to see you back at it Mike. And I got a notification to boot!
Cool.Thank You
👍😊
Thanks for the soap trick when installing the o rings on the manifold. Never to old to learn something new .
Glad to help
Mike thanks for sharing your knowledge & Mike the camera man thanks for you quality videos. After viewing your videos of the Linkert M74 Carburetor project, I located myself a M74 B for my 59 pan. Ride safe my friends.
Thank You. Hopefully, you'll love it like I do.
👍🙂
Great videos cant wait to hear this run!
You and me both!
Is that Palmolive dish soap? Softens your hands while you could a bike. Lol. Good job Mike.
I don't push brands, but my hands are lovely.
Carb & Manifold look so good. I love this bike.. A real machine of Beauty. Adding years of life to this Gem& miles of smiles to anyone lucky enough to be riding it. I love these older motorcycles. I appreciate these videos. Real Deal.
Wow. Thank You
Another great job, Mike. I like that little trick with the dish soap.
Thank You. Works for me.
Hey Mike I just rebuilt my carby with your help. Really appreciate it mate. Just love watching. Thanks
Glad to help
Great videos Mike. I watch em in the morning while I'm having my coffee. A lot of the little "old school" methods you use bring back many memories. Thanks again, have a great day...
Thank You
Mike, thanks for having Class, I totaly enjoy all your vids. I like to save up 3-4 so I can have a hell of a good Pacific Mike Time. you and George Bryce reall make learning easy...
Glad you like them! Thank You
Always a pleasure to see a new video from Pacific Mike.
You've definitely done this before!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful work Mike, I can work on that kind of stuff all day long, it just makes me happy.
You bet.
Love watching your videos Mike
Thank You
Another good video. I can tell that you have done this before. You make it look effortless.
It's just not bad. Take it slow and enjoy it.
Very knowledgeable, love your yellow knuckle
Thank you!
Great series. On this old pan, thanks
Glad you like it. Thank You.
From the French "To know how to do" which is surely the essence of a mechanic. You bring me pleasure, you do. Be well!
Thank You so much.
Very nice tip on the carb brace!
Glad it was helpful!
Looking forward to the next ones, I also want to hear this motorsickle run. Nothing like the ol pan,
Thanks Mike
Cool. Thank You
That brass carburetor is really neat. I’ve only ever seen aluminum until now.
Harley used brass Linkerts from the 1930's all the way to 1965. They're great, rebuildable, infinitely adjustable carburetors.
@@pacificmike9501 The range of ages explains why I didnt know about them, I am only 32. It looks like they hold up well over the years. Thanks for the informative reply Mike.
Thank You. That was when things were meant to be rebuilt and rebuild kits included the parts that would wear (such as throttle shafts and bushings).
Another great video…Panheads forever!
I get a little Bob Ross vibe…So relaxing.
I have the same mismatched heads on my ‘50. Old school biker and I am still learning new tricks from Pacific Mike!
I think my intake is leaking…
They do. Ya just gotta redo 'em once in a while. Thank You
Mike..thank you for these very clear instruction videos!!
Glad you like them!
Your videos are calming therapy love watching how careful and methodical you do things your going to have this old bike running better than most new bikes
I doubt that. But, Thank You for the vote of confidence.
👍😊
well done mike good to watch as you take time and explain how to do it properly
Thank You
Hello Mike, Very informative AS usual!!!!! I had a spark knock under a load with My wife and I on our 69 flh If You recall its been ten Years ago i got ran over on it buy some punk ? it has the old STD cases Remember?. any how after replacing the front end and triple trees I played with the timing used octane boost fooled with different type plugs hotter and cooler played with the s&s jets ECT You get the picture. I finally took the carb off and made a block off plate and ran about 5/8 lbs of air pressure brought it up till all the valves were closed and soaped up the intake the o rings leaked like no tomorrow!!! i was running way too lean !!!!! I guess in the wreck they got screwed up my leg got burned BAD!! the bike must have ran a bit on its side or somthing i was knocked out and flying thru the air at the time ... I wanted to try the silicone wide bands they sealed every thing up and she runs great again!!!! Great Channel Love all the super tips and info WELL DONE!!! Take Care, bob
Doesn't it feel great when you finally diagnose the problem and correct it? No fun like it. Ride safe. Thank You.
What dish soap meets the EPA recommendation. Lol Love your shows Mike keep up the great work. Dish soap works great for a lot of things
Thank You. Yes it does.
Wow....This is so neat and never seen anything like this ! Thank you for showing us and you rock!
Thanks for watching!
I have a old shovel, what I learn the most is what and how a real mechanic looks like, thank you for that Mike it's very helpfull
Thank You. Glad to help.
I think we're synchronized! I just put the O-ring manifold on a Shovelhead this morning! (I was blueprinting the rocker arms, among other things.) You can't rotate the manifold on Shovel like you can on a Panhead, though, that definitely seems to make it easier. Those aircraft clamps look pretty cool, but the stock clamps are just fine, too.
I'm afraid Harley used some pretty cheap clamps there. I just try to use really good stuff. No, you can't rotate a Shovelhead manifold.
A master class from a Master with Class. Thank you for this.
Wow, thank you!
I appreciate your eloquent way of speaking through the isolation 👍🏻💯thanks Pacific Mike
My pleasure
Another fantastic educational video!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank You
👍😊
Another excellent tutorial. Thanks Mike.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank You
Nice to be here sitting on my porch in NE Texas, Tuesday and eating breakfast in balmy 81degree weather! Already knocked out 2 hunnydo projects,life is good.
HD shops won't touch bikes anything "older" than '14. The "techs" don't know how & even if they did, the parts&service tools are long gone. More importantly, the "people"(gotta be pc nowadays) with that wealth of knowledge aren't being hounded to pass it on to the up and comers. In '81 the flat-rate was $32/hr. Mechs got half.
Obviously quality is down & new prices in outer space. People that can afford them now in general don't ride them much, not like years ago. Nobody has NOS for "The Silent Grey Fellow," I get that.
Now get this, AB is gotten the biz in a pickle right now so to make nice have gotten HD to allow the BAR & SHIELD on their cans of Piss. Woke&Broke? What the Hell.
Times change. We get together as needed. That's why I'm always talking about shows and swap meets. It helps get us all together.
Must say, I’m a little jealous of this bike. Wanting an unrestored beautiful pan head real bad. Great job as always!
Thank You
nice video.
Thanks!
Been trying to attach fuel lines in cold weather hair dryer warms them up and makes them more flexible worth trying with O rings when they are cold
Yes, or drop them in warm water (the o-rings).
Nicely done👍👍
Thanks 👍
Thank you
You're quite welcome.
Can't wait to hear it!
Me too.
This video brought to you in part from todays sponsor White lithium grease
Ya think?
Good work! Love the simple wiring harness.
Thanks! 👍 We'll have to add a little wiring. It has no brakelight. Only has low beam. Just a couple more wires. We'll probably replace what's there.
Looks great, thanks' Mike
Thank You
so dats how you do dat ! ..... you made it look easy
Dat's cuz how dat iz. Thank You
Just a comment about the spacer: I have a carb body from my 1931 Henderson that was made with pot metal. It is complete junk, river bedded and separated metal all over from too much heat. A spacer may have prevented that if it were available in that era. You will find most Henderson's 29-31 have either Harley or Indian carbs. Prior to mid 29 the carbs were brass and much more stable.
Fun stuff. Thank You. As you can probably tell, I am a fan of Linkerts. The quality is superb, and I've tried to let the kids in on the fact that they are infinitely rebuildable.
Hey Mike !!!!( all the mikes ) you guys do a bang out job , I wish I had an Ole Bike project, Or help someone with an Old bike looks like fun
Today its crapy weather up here in Nor Cali ( just north of Sac ) its feels like it would be a good day for a bike job , or project out in the shop !!!
It is fun. I'm in SoCal, living in the foothills. Kinda cold and overcast. Dog wants to go for a walk. I had to tell her to wait 'til it warms up a little.
👍😊
Nice job Mike.
Thanks 👍
Great video as always. I have done this a dozen times and I still learned something!
Like, why use rtv when you can use white lithium grease....
Thanks Mike
P.s. love the old school after market pan covers. Never seen those before
We all learn stuff as we go. It never ends. Those Pan lids are from Custom Cycle Engineering. They are old and I believe they're still making them.
Awesome as always can’t wait to see it go
Me neither
As us dumb kids in Eastern WA State in the 1960s and ‘70s co-opted the Indian word and turned it into something akin to “boss” (meaning “cool” or “bitchin’”), we would say; “Skookum!”
Thank You. I'm gonna look that up.
I know you may have said it in a previous video but why do you like to use lithium grease on the gaskets?
It works. It doesn't do any damage and seals well. Once under pressure, it stays put. More than anything, no contamination.
Unrelated question: Where is the whirring sound come from in Pan/Knuckle heads. Is it from the primary belt, the Clutch hub, flywheel, front gears? Not that i'd want to change it, but It has been gnawing on me for ages, especially when I listen to videos of pans that don't sound like combines!
Depends on the years (whether they are loose rollers in the lower end or later model timkens). But actually, everything in there makes its own sound.
@@pacificmike9501 1960 fl, Timkens. But everything but the flywheels have been replaced. Belt drive conversion, re-routed breather, transmission bearing, racers etc. I have to agree that it is probably a symphony of moving parts and splashing oil. But it's still bewildering to me that jet engine effect comes from everywhere! Thank you for all your work, you have already won me dozens of arguments and a whole bunch of headaches!
Holamar sealant ,developed by Rolls Royce for intake manifolds ,gas proof ,
Does not harden .
Yes. Good stuff. Use what works for you. I certainly respect that.
I see that you have Harley Davidson spark plugs 3-4 , made by champion but with that over the top price.
They were in there.
what brand of dish liquid do you recommend for the job, a bit of jocularity for the day
I don't push brands. But, my hands are lovely.
@@pacificmike9501 haha
Watching Netflix’s Car Masters: Rust to Riches S1:E5 “Fran ‘N’ Bus” and I believe I spotted you at the bar during the episode… now we got a bet going in the house… was that you Mike?
Yes, it was. I hope someone won something good. Yes, the guy really had a "Leadwing."
United clinic carburetor ticket to your Harley shop he had to clean that's how we did the Sportster when we got it it's clean it's running how you get the Florida idle down. Art. Mace
Something here is over my head.
How I fought with putting those manifold clamps on so easy when you turn the manifold out thanks .
We all learn constantly. Glad to help.
'Ah, welcome to the intake tract, a drinking hole with class,
we can serve you spirits all day long, 'cos the barman's made of brass!'
(So sorry, it's been a long day, & thus far it's Meds. 1. - Lod. 0., so I'm hitting the early cocoa. Take care over there : )
You never lose your wit, your supreme humor and artfulness as a "wordsmith." Thank You
❤️😊
I have to do this today on our 78, somehow I know it wont be going this easy
Be sure you align the heads to the manifold. If you have to loosen the heads, you will need to replace the head gaskets. Refer to your service manual.
Great manifold information, big help!!
Can you tell me who makes the stainless o ring clamps you used?
Thanks!!
These are from S&S.
Many recommend a bubble test on the manifold. Do you ever do that?
No. I try not to "overanalyze." I seal it up well. If it isn't sealed well, it will tell you.
By chance have you ever said what bike lift you have? I want to buy one and was wondering what you recommended! Thanks again mike.
Just a personal preference. I bought my lifts when I had a shop. They are K&L.
Another excellent video You may have answered this question before Which Harley do you prefer to work on I have a 97 Heritage Classic with the EVO in excellent condition Or maybe you enjoy working on all Harleys and don’t have a preference Just a question I been meaning to ask
Good question. I really do like them all. But, I prefer to stay with carburetion over injection. Probably my age. When I started, there was Flatheads, Knuckles, Panheads and those new things called Shovelheads. That's really where my heart is. Then came the Evos. When I realized how many miles they would go without major repairs, I grew a real respect for them. So I guess it's kind of a mixed bag. But most of all, I enjoy working on a motorcycle that's been loved, well maintained and enjoyed by its owner.
Appreciate your answer I knew a local biker that lived for his Harleys and EVO was his choice His opinion was if it didn’t have a carburetor it wasn’t a Harley and he was more than happy to share that information with anyone
Everyone loves what they love. After working most of my life on all kinds of Harleys, i decided I really wanted to experience completely certain ones. That's what I've been doing. Just got off the phone with a good buddy. He's had a lot of late model stuff. He just bought a 67 FLH. He's so happy he can't see straight. To each his own. They all have their merits.
Hey Mike, could you do a video on the Bendix Carbs. One size was on Shovels and another was on Sportsters. I have several that I want to try and rebuild. Thanks
Haven't touched one in many years. The instructions that come with the rebuild kit are pretty goo. Only major problem with a Bendix is the throttle shaft, being steel, as I remember, erodes and the body wears out where the throttle shaft goes through. I you have, or access to, a lathe and make for yourself press in bushings, you could save a lot of those carburetors. Although they do have throttle shaft seals, it doesn't keep them from wearing out. Again, no reason you can't do it.
@@pacificmike9501 Thanks Mike, and viola, I do have a lathe and some bronze rod for bushings.
Cool. You'll be able to save perfectly good carburetors. Otherwise, you would have vacuum leaks and that's the only wear points.
Hey Mike, keep up the good work, you're the best! Just wondering, the rocker box covers, I've seen them on a lot of old choppers, who made these and why? Just wondered, thanks a bunch! Appreciate all you do!
They are cool. Custom Cycle Engineering made them many years ago and are producing them today.
Hi Mike I have a 1991 Ultra Classic Electra Glide I am restoring back to original after it has been Cobbled on by the last several people that have owned it.I noticed the handlebars have a air fitting left side and a little nipple on the bottom with a 6in of rubber hose dangling. Please explain this system
Air suspension. It is plumbed into the top of the forks from the "air reservoir" which is your handlebar. Quite often, people defeat them. Some like them and some don't.
Good-n-tight is a torque spec, it’s just in German
Yep
Mike why not use lithium white grease ? And where did you get that adapter from the screw on to the rubber o-ring one very cool? I could really use one thanks
Just the way I do it. I can't really answer that one. I've just done it this way for so long. The adapters come as a set, made by Colony.
indonesia hdir🙏
Thank You
Is there a reason for using white lithium grease over a regular type grease? Just curious.
Another great video. Keep up the good work.
Yes. It is its chemical makeup. It seals and lubes and protects. I'm sorry I'm not a chemist. I do know one who could explain it to me. I think I'll call him tomorrow. Check back in a week or so. I gotta check myself. I'm so used to doing things that work for me.
@@pacificmike9501 Thanks Mike.
mike , what's you take on O rings plus Bands , way back someone i watched used them . were they used on certain set ups ?
O-ring heads and manifolds are machined for o-rings. Installed properly, I believe them to be the best. Long about 79, Harley stopped machining them with a groove in both head and manifold. At that point the seals became a rubber sleeve, more commonly referred to as "rubber bands." I definitely prefer o-ring style.
