Thanks - that's all great advice. I usually do this work squatting on my gravel driveway, and wonder why I can't find so many parts. LOL. Now...
I think this will be my goal for the weekend (I only see my bike on the weekend). A little worried about opening it up. The last time I opened a...
@rcthirty - this thread and your other thread make me sad and discouraged - because I realize how I will never get my own project to a state one...
Thanks @squirrelman - that's good to know then. @Totaled TL mentioned a poor connection leading to sparking, so I cleaned off screw, nuts and...
Thanks @Totaled TL and @squirrelman : I was worried that amount of sparking was abnormal. I'll clean the threads and nut that I was connecting...
OK, got a chance to work on my baby a little over this weekend. 1) I put an borescope in the fuel tank. I can see what looks to be the petcock...
Success! The lookalike of that Lisle 63600 wrench didn't work - it just kept slipping. Possibly it would have worked if the filter hadn't been...
Someone on Reddit suggested it's a warning to not tighten by hand but to use a *torque* wrench - presumably, so it could be precisely torqued....
Oh, I could order from Amazon - I just couldn't get it in time for this weekend when I get to see my bike. Last weekend I tried a strap wrench...
Google said: I bought a Lisle 65mm/14-flute wrench, and it looks like Google was wrong. That wrench was way too small. I love the Lisle...
Thanks for that. I like the idea of having one wrench for many filters. When I see the bike this weekend I will check if it looks like I could...
Nice - how deep are the side gripper parts? I think there's space for a socket extension to fit through the headers, but am more worried about the...
The strap on my wrench just did not fit through the gap on the left side of the filter, but even if it did, I'm not sure how I would turn one....
LOL. I don't want to destroy the existing filter just yet. I was really just trying to get to the starter, but it seems you need to get the...
1984 VF500 - Wanted to remove the oil filter and it's in there tight. There's no room to work on the left side - the strap wrench I bought won't...
Yes! I've started doing so here: https://vfrworld.com/threads/1984-vf500-project.62456/ Progress may be uneven... I usually only get to see the...
I wanted to do that! I couldn't think of where to buy a cork that large. The only thing about the cork is, I wanted to see the bubbles as a...
Do these bikes have a fuel level sensor? Google says yes, I see one in the V30 Magna manual but see nothing in the V30 Interceptor shop manual.
I started electrolysis yesterday. Here's what it looked like when I started. [ATTACH] I should have had all my ducks lined up before I started...
Thank you - I am hoping to draw on that knowledge and generosity - I know I won't be able to do this with help and encouragement!
