The new cable seems to be too short, anyone else ever run into this? When I say too short the cable reaches the throttle grip area fine but I have to pull the inside of cable out (basically opening the throttle) to get it to attach to the slider doohickey and since I have to pull it out the engine ...

I picked up a '67 S90 last week. The S90 was the first motorcycle I ever owned, 13 motorcycles ago in 1967, and I forgot just how much -FUN- it was to drive. Kinda makes you want to go out and turn donuts in the dirt (if you know what I mean). So... the "Big Dog" (CA77) is on Craigslist which will a...

Just a follow-up to my posting above. The new head gasket with a light coating of Halomar HPF is in and staying leak free. :-)

Ok, I got a after market head gasket from Ohio Cycle in the mail yesterday and the two green O-Rings. This gasket was about the same thickness (1.23mm) as the other new one I had used which leaked (1.24mm D&K) so I used a thin film of some Permatex Halomar HPF on the gasket around the edge of the ca...

The gasket "looked" like new and so did the O-Rings. It's a mystery. I'll order up a new gasket on Monday as well as n...

FWIW I'm having the same issue on my "Refreshed" CA77. New Head Gasket & O-Rings, both were non-NOS. No adhesive was used on the gasket, but I did put Hylomar on the O-Rings. Torqued to 15lbs and retorqued over the next few days. Got it installed and fired up last week. Ran thru the warm-up / cool-d...

I'm reassembling my CA77 motor and when I slide the Starter Sprocket on the crankshaft, it goes on far enough to bottom out against the case. I measured the distance from the surface of the case (where the sprocket rubs) to the crankshaft roller bearing at 9.49mm and the height of the Sprocket shoul...
