Crank Pulley seal ? W/ ? behind seal.
Dinky26 replied to Dinky26's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Actually no the new seal didn't come with any spring at all. -

Should I put that spring inside of the new seal? -
I can see a spring that seems to go around the crank shaft in behind seal. Any idea what purpose this spring serves? Do I need to be concerned that it appears to be sprung? Any ideas on how to set the seal in completely? I am having issues put all the way in. Of course I didn't think to take a picture before trying to put the new seal in.

Clever crank bolt method?
Dinky26 replied to MR_Loyale's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I've been wondering about this one myself, while waiting for my replacement crank pulley to arrive. Can you put a screw driver or of the like in flywheel through one of the holes? Or can one use a old/slightly used belt to wrap around the pulley clamp some vice grips on to hold it solid? This is one idea that been bouncing around in my head, so I don't know for sure how effective it will be. -
I've been daily driving mine for over a year and it's been awesome!!! Swap out the carb for a Weber, that will boost your get up and go. Shawn on here will get you set up for a Weber.

To scrap or Not to scrap
Dinky26 replied to Tiersmoke92555's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
That is a tough one. I'd get the non turbo running and part the other out or do a swap. -
Make sure your fuel pump is getting power.

Brat Ignition Lock Cylinder Stuck
Dinky26 replied to 6 Star's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I pulled one apart earlier this summer, I don't remember exactly how it fell apart now. Seems like it just came apart when the screw was out. Must be just a pita for you. -

As long as both columns are the same as in tilting you are good as gold. If they aren't both tilt you might be able to dismantle and pull the tumbler out and switch them. -
Nice find! Is that standard switch/button for the cruise? On the Gen2s?

That is correct, the gauges can't be to reliable sometimes. -
Fuel Injection vs Weber
Dinky26 replied to wagondragon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
This is the same as I am getting on my 86' Brat Weberized. Just replaced the cap and rotor the other day, so I'm hoping that will help my MPGs. I will say it runs better now at least. -
So after reading all these posts I'm fairly certain I have a very early EA81. Gold stickers on valve covers saying 'Don't adjust Valve Clearance' Hydro lifters I am guessing Serial # on block 002766 With a NiiponDenso dizzy Oh On a 86 Brat with build date 12/85.
