    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How do I set the automatic adjuster on my '78 750? Should that little set screw be turned in until contact, then loosened 1/4-1/2 turn, and then the locknut tightened?

TIA,

Bill
 
The set screw and lock nut is to lock the plunger in the compressed position during engine assembly. Once the cams, are in position and timed you are supposed to release the locknut/set screw and the plunger will spring out and take out slack in the chain. With normal usage you should never have to mess with the tensioner for the life of the engine. They do tend to leak some and in some cases the spring mechanisim can get gummed up but other than that, they are forget until failure.
