While waiting for the Pressure plate to get here I put the two back motor mounts in.

I think I found the chattering I was getting while starting  in first gear.

Mounted the Voltage Regulator on the Generator

Put the pressure plate,clutch, and throw out bearing on and put the motor back in the buggy. :jump4jo": **^bana0 :jump4jo": **^bana0
Rich stopped buy and helped with the wiring. Thanks Rich.  Trying to get the motor started I got the wires switched on the coil and Oil switch  ?/banghea?/ I think I fried the sending unit  bawlin)0
The motor Started   2@@cool. I guess Murphy was sitting out side the door when I went to adjust The clutch cable It broke. &(rage_
Not sure If the buggy will make It now. I'm going to see if I can Rig It some how because I'm running out of time.
I hope Polarizing the Generator works because the white light is on. }dunn--

I decided to go A different route Celly. I did think about it tho   &$hmmthin_+

The Fix.... I grabbed the Spare Clutch Cable. Thanks (Shawn/Tyler) From the Bus & Hit the hardware store.






Now I have a New/Old problem   16rooler  The Dam thing Chatters and Hops Like a bi ch   Starting off in first gear.
 I thought the new engine mounts would have solved it. It would do it before but not this bad....

Do you have a nice bend in the preload tube?

Did you try pushing up and down on the tail pipes to see if the front mount was bad?

Eeeek...



Cable clips in a "butt-splice" might slip. A loop in each cable would be better but, any port in a storm
