Rev Counter Hickup
« on: March 29, 2017, 07:28:30 PM »
Hi All
Well as you know bike finished now, the rev counter was bouncing about all over the place so
hit the internet and SOHC. Net came up with the answer and it seemed to be the damper pot empty of oil.
I duly bought the required silicon grease and stripped the thing to bits and yes the pot was dry.
I put a small amount in the pot ,sealed it up an re assembled the taco.
All seemed to be moving freely and i was happy with the way it went.
 :-[ Disappointment no movement at all now.
Does anyone know if all of the K series revcounters innards will fit ? if so there are some cheap
ones on ebay that may do the trick.
1972 500/4
1973 CB175
