Can a novice rebuild a TypeIV? I figure, why not. This is my engine build thread. I actually started last December tearing down my tired 2.0 engine. My plan was to rebuild it using 96mm P/Cs and a set of Webers I already had. My plan was to source parts from the Type IV store and have Len Hoffman rebuild my heads. I had Jake balance the rotating parts as well.
While I waited for parts and machine work, I had my 901 tranny rebuilt. I sent my gearstack to the good Dr. along with a couple of synchos and a set of dogteeth from another box. It was pretty straight forward putting it all back together. All new seals and a fillup with Swepco and it's good to go. New stack is in! New input shaft seal. Good time to clean and inspect the fork and throwout bearing. Another job I did in the interim was to rebuild the carbs and fabricate a linkage. There sure are a lot of little parts to a pair of carbs. The design I used connects the stock throttle cable to two cables, each going to a carb. |
