I finally got away from the boys Gl1000 project to work on my LTD project. Got the carbs back on it and fired it up for the first time in some 10-15 years. Engine is running good, hitting on all 4, throttle snaps nicely but.....
On the center stand in neutral I have an irregular rattling, clunking from rear engine area in neutral, noise subsides somewhat when you pull the clutch in. Engine shifts through all 5 gears, If you put it in gear and attempt to release the clutch the engine will pull down and stall in all 5 gears as well.Clutch seems to be grabbing very well With engine off in gear rear wheel still turns. While its turning you can hear a metal to metal ratcheting noise from the differential area.
So before I got to ripping and tearing chasing my hunches do any of you gurus out there have the answer? I'm guessing the pinion locked up and sheared the worm gear but honestly I've never had one of these apart. I'm wondering about the driveshaft too.
