    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Evening guys
OK, possible blonde moment!
Rebuilding 78 GS1000 engine
Selector drum in , indent plunger in , drum rotated to neutral position.
Pawl assy installed in end of selector drum , but straight away I've noticed where ever you locate the pawls and allow them to lock in the notches , the teeth on the pawl assy do not line up centrally with teeth on gear change shaft
I've had to walk away tonight as it's starting to wind me up !
Any ideas
Regards
Mark
 
So with the teeth on the pawl assy and the gear change shaft - lined up , and the drum rotated to engage either indent plunger ( neutral position) the pawls end up halfvway between the notches in the end of the selector drum
 
Thanks Agemax
I just had it- in my head that the pawls engaged with the notches , even in neutral
 
Hey Mar, just a suggestion. Get some JIS screwdrivers or an impact driver, they will keep you from buggering those phillips heads.... & yes, I's thinking the picture looked as I remembered it should look... Good luck.
