1977 360 auto

Thanks guys, i got it sorted. The main clutch sprauge was reversed and i was not rotating the trans when i was trying to manually de-clutch. So i am learning. And i think the beer helped! I'll have George repair the small gear shaft and engagement gear in March, then I'll have both setups.

Got her timed and squirt some fuel in the cylinder.

Nice job.

Thanks for videos, I have to clean the carb again as it did not respond to the idle adjuster or choke. I also did not have the chain on, I was afraid it might run away as I have never really started one and want to get it running on the low end before I try the brakes out!

Masked the tank and got it painted today. A little wet sanding then decals and trim paint and she's ready for clear. Not perfect but the best I could do, my first paint job!

Does anyone have the measurements of where the three decals lay on the top of the tank? Thanks Chris

No pics of the top of an 1977 auto tank? OK, is the don't engage decal above or below the fill hole? Is the use only vegetables oil above or below the fill hole? I think the Made in Sweden is way up near the top of the tank? Should they be on the side of the tank?Heelp before I clear them on?!!

my 77 auto only has two decals on the top of the tank. I have the engage decal and the made in Sweden decal. The engage decal is just above the fill hole and the Sweden decal is at the top of the tank. I've never posted any pics on here but I guess I could give it a go if you need it.Just measured mine, the engage decal is 1" above the fill hole and the Sweden is 1/2" above the engage decal.

Thank You, redman!! I will use your recommendations! I now have a spare, Use only vegetable oil decal! I have never seen the way these tanks look so all info is really welcome. I am doing the best I can with the info I have, but being that this POS was mangled when I got it, I want to thank all of you for the help, redman , you are a step above!! Chris

Rode the bike today!! The guy who goes my striping is out of the county, so i rigged the 73 rt tank to the bike and took it around the parking lot. A little nervous, but we have 1st gear, haven't gone fast enough to check the other three! Maybe next week after work. My wife taped the proceedings and was not happy because of the boot on my foot. I think I'll get her a beer!

Pretty Cool ! Sounds good, Looks good. Excellent Job .

The sound looks good ! Aren't the rear shocks a bit too long ?

Yeah, probably, they came with the bike. I'll see if I can get some longer forks to even those Ohlins out.

All painted up! Not perfect but better than it was!
Thanks for the help redman, nice to meet you in Paxinos.

Agreed, that is nasty. I fail to see any useable components there.

What length?

All were replaced with good condition used parts. It's almost finished!
