    HELP! I'm surrounded by Injuns!

    Everyone knows, those Husky Injuns are BAD MEDICINE!

    And a few of them have MO HAWKS and WAR PAINT!

    Ha! Figure you needed a laugh!

    Does anyone know the thread size to the oil cap on the clutch cover.

    I assume it is metric?

    Yeah! He probably did..........

    Still no got um parts to finish top ends. I assumed that the top end bearings came in the piston kits like newer bikes but am back tracking now.

    I did get new stainless nuts and bolts for all the heads.

    So think I'm going to start cleaning up the carbs and perform some minor artwork to them. I'll get them ready for all new rebuild kits.

    Goal is to get all these running and jetted. Then I'll go back and modify each carb and send the heads off to RK tek to get squish cut and see if they need to machine dome areas.

    Looks like you'll have fun with it. Carb cleaner or low tech vinegar?

    I rode only in my subdivision. The rear brake works surprisingly well, I can lock the wheel even on pavement. The rekluse makes the clutch redundant but I still use it anyway. Together, they have a nice feel. I can't wait to try it on a trail.
