Ricks I have been looking at a lot of the pictures of have posted and the bikes are beautiful . I read yours and Petes thread about his bike not starting and paid close attention to the recommendation that were given. It's been a learning curve for sure. The 58 automatic I bought came with a stand to put it on. I could start and run it but soon as I put on the ground it did not want to run.

Wayne has been a big help on getting these running. The carb would not adjust when I had the tranny belt on due to the load and when I did get it to run the bike would lunge forward.
Wayne said that the clutch may be engaging or sticking at low idle. He said this could cause the motor not to start because kicking it would not provide the rpms to start it. I also noticed when I kicked it that it would move a little forward and I would always have to readjust the kick stand. With the tranny belt off it starts on the first or second try and I was able to adjust the carb.

Well I think I may have solved my problem. I could not kick start it and keep it running. I removed the clutch spring to relieve the belt tension doing this took the load off the motor allowing it to start on the first try and stay running. Now I must look at what in the clutch is not operating right. Making progress.

This is the 48. I had to do is clean the tank and carb. I was told it had not run in 15 to 20 years. Gary Wollard built the motor.

Pete
I read apost you had problems keeping your bike running and would not kick start. Wayne sent you a no piston and it still would not preform proper. Did you ever sulve the problem and if so what was the fix.

I just acquired a 47 and a 58 in Frost TX. Both run but having issue keeping them running. Looking for advice.
