stator bolt outcome

[joedrum]

i was messing around with the 80-1100 standard parts bike today and took the stator cap off and it fell off and the threads were cracked off....the stator bolt had came loose far enough to bang the stator cap into and i could see stress fractures in the cover itself ....it looks like someone tighten the stator bolt back up and somehow put an inside patch on the rear cover to keep it from cracking anymore there must be room in to do that i guess i dont know for sure that what it is but two threaded non honda studs coming out of the cover means something ....and it dose look like it was running after this fix .....igot the motor to move a little bit with the stator bolt so its not compleyely stuck....

ive just never seen anything like that before :mrgreen:

When I bought my bike the stator bolt was backed completely out and just hanging loose. The only thing keeping it from being lost was the washer wouldn't let it pass through the hole it had made when it pushed out the center of the cap. I reinstalled the bolt with Locktite and tourqued it down with the bike parked with the front tire against the shop wall, on it's side stand and in gear with the wife holding the rear break lever down, then I installed a new cap. I think it will stay tight now.

after further dismantleing taking the frame off the motor taking the crbs off,taking heads off and spraying pb blaster in cylinders iwas able to free it up and this went a looks good the clylinders and heads both look realy nice....the car5bs are completly stuck except for the choke but all and all im pretty pleased with what ive got so far.....i have no way at this time to how the lower end of the motor is like .....

i have a wood shed that keep a huge load of kindleing in that im going to empty and put sides on and im going to set up goldwing work shop to test these motors i have .....some kind of gig that i can mont a motor with radiator hook ups gas hook ups and wiring and such to run and test motors before install in a bike so i can tell what ive got .......

im going to pretty much big time into this and start applying my skills to this and maybe be of youst to the members of this forum .....it looks to me that 1100 motors could be refreshed with 1200 pistons maybe .....i have machinery ive never lrt go of from my farming days and pretty much did all the repairs possible in all the equipment i used .....the goldwing motors ought to be a peice of cake compared to some of the stuff ive work on ....oh to finish my thoughts the 1200 pistons are just slightly bigger than the 1100 pistons and could be a huge boost to wore out 1100s just a thought right now i havnt look into this to far yet...

I'll tell ya, Joe....you've got some kind of dedication, my friend! You (and others here) are always tweeking on your engines and such, and "experimenting" on this and that to see what works.
I, on the other hand, find it hard to get meself motivated to just change the oil in mine! :blush:
Kudos to you, and all of the other CGW members for wrenching non-stop, so that the rest of us can benefit from your knowldge, both from successes, and the "not so much"....

:clapping: :mrgreen: :clapping: :mrgreen: :clapping: :mrgreen: :clapping: :thanks:

back in my farming days it wasnt so much fun ....it was a money thing plus a time thing ...you coldnot miss planting or picking something from brake down...so all effort went into practices that kspt things going and when things broke it would have to be fixed now .....you would not beleave some of the stuff i did to keep going ...antway the best education i ever had in life.....so doing things at this pace is enjoyable to without all the pressure....

I Understand Completely Joe........ I've been there and done that, and like you said , there is nothing like learning it the Hard Way. :music:

My dad was a poor ol dirt farmer in West Texas. My brother and I were the only crew he had... I know ALL ABOUT making stuff work with nothing more than baling wire, and a hammer....sometimes we didn't even have a hammer....so he'd use my head... :builder:
