08 Victory vision tour I have a squek while
In general, if the rear wheel alignment isn't just about perfect, the drive belt will squeal. The colder the weather, the more noticeable the squeal will be.
With proper allignment, when the rear wheel is off the ground, if you rotate the wheel in the forward direction, the belt should slowly move from the outside edge of the rear drive sprocket to the inside edge. When you rotate the wheel in the reverse direction, the belt should slowly move from the inside edge toward the outside edge.
What to get for best cleaning
A bucket for soapy water
Soap or liquid detergent; automotive cleaners will work
Gloves (to keep your hands clean)
Bug and tar remover
Degreaser and/or engine cleaner
A toothbrush
WD40
A brush for wheel cleaning
Wheel cleaner
At least two microfiber or 100% cotton sponges
A variety of soft cotton towels and more abrasive rags
A chamois cloth for drying
Cam timing
In our perennial quest for HP and torque, the topic of cam timing seems to be missing from the threads thus far posted. Yet, cam timing can have a significant effect on overall engine performance and the mix between HP and torque.
Since the HM has only a single cam per cylinder, there isn’t anything we can due to vary the overlap for any given cam, but there is certainly some range of adjustability on how the overall cam timing is set by cylinder.
With the stock cams, the timing specs for both cylinders are as follows at 1 mm valve clearance
Intake
Opening 15° B.T.D.C.
Closing 65° A.B.D.C.
Exhaust
Opening 62° B.B.D.C.
Closing 19° A.T.D.C.
(Anyone have the specs of for the DP cams?)
Certainly degreeing in the cams to spec is a good starting point, but my real question is how might HP and torque be impacted by advancing or retarding cam timing?
There’s lots of information on how to degree a cam and people have been doing so since the old flat-head hot rod days, but information on how changing cam timing in and by itself affects overall performance and/or the mix between HP and torque (perhaps held as closely guarded trade secrets by the cam manufacturers +/or tuners).
Have a arlan need victory vegas 2006. Will start but not idle
possible crack in the inlet manifold
having a crack in the manifold will make the engine hunt
quick easy get you home fix is
while you waiting for a new one after ordering the part
is remove your carburetor
remove the cracked manifold
buy a condom and cover the whole manifold with the condom the open end of the condom being closer to the engine
replace the engine manifold until tightened
with a sharp knife cut a hole in the other end of the condom
replace the carburetor
that will make the cracked inlet manifold air tight
