Digital’s Rigid – Part IV (Continued 6)

Sponsored By


Now here’s the test. If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll notice that I DIDN’T put on the secondary belt before we put on the motor plate! Just remember to do this and save yourself the removal of the assembly to fix this mistake.

With everything in place, I put the friction plate back on the secondary pulley and turned the clutch adjusting screw into the plate until it hit the main shaft. I’ll walk through how to adjust this later in the project.

 

Next, the Spike starter from Custom Chrome into place.

 

Attached the starter gear…

 

And bolted the cover on the plate. At this point, I also placed the center cover bolts to hold the cover that will be put on later.

 

When I was all finished, I torqued the engine and transmission bolts into place. I started by tightening the engine lightly, then the transmission. I then torque the engine to spec, then the transmission. When it was all done, I turned the motor a few more times to make sure the belt still tracked.

Next time, I’ll be installing the front end. – Digital
