Great! There are "mystiques" surrounding things electrical: As a computer techie, I was working on an old machine whose wires were connected in taper pin "buggies", they frequently fell out for no apparent reason. One seasoned veteran said that "it was the solenoid action of...

Thanks kindly. I don't want you to waste too much of your time on this. I am quite a ways away from reaching the point of needing these screws; I just like to have planned ahead, so that when I reach a task, I don't have to wait very long for all of the pieces. I am looking at some sources here, now...

Wow! Thanks a bunch for the links. I shall dig into them and see what I can find that might work. What I saw at one place were a bit rough, but that was only the middle link that you sent. Thanks much, for the offer. I may still want to work that out with you; do you have a PayPal account? Know abou...

Yowza! Yeah, if you swapped out the box and the problem persists, that leaves the pickups, coils, and wiring. What brand of coils are you using? Still a bit curious, as Rick mentioned, about the heat, but if it runs fine once started, who knows? I would have thought that the box would be the most li...

Many thanks for the info. In looking at the DIN603 bolts, the square faces would have to be removed to allow the bolt to turn, once a slot was cut into the head or if washers were used to stand the facets outside the side cover hole, it would protrude quite a bit, unless I am missing something. If y...

Forgot to mention:

I don't need the rubber bushings or washers; I can deal with that. The screws are the

most important item.

Thanks again

Bless you. I do need 4, and am in no rush.

Please let me know when you exhaust your research, and
I'll settle up with you.

Thanks kindly.

On the 1975 860GT, the side covers are held on with two screws each: P/N 0960.91.755 ( M6 x 42 per the parts manual.) I have searched high and low for these screws, and have reached the conclusion that they are made of the rare element: unobtainium Steve does not stock them, but he does stock the ca...

All good points, Rick.

Thanks for the tips.

Best guess here, is that a swapout of the presently installed unit will eliminate some unknowns for sure; that's wht we here sometimes call it a "swag". There are times when the process of elimination trumps trying to diagnose the issue. I will be very interested to know how that goes. Is ...

I wish I could help but haven't started mine up yet, as I have a ton of resto yet to do. It would help to know the model of your bike. The possibilities are too numerous. Have you contacted Marco at Sachse?: [email protected].de Attn: Marco Patzer Maybe mhr900 has some insights. He has one as w...

Hi again, Craig, I looked at a few sites and found that a general rule of thumb is to reduce the Dry torque by 20 to 30% when using anti - seize. One link had a guy from Loctite say that just reusing a bolt tends to smooth the threads enough that it can make a huge difference in the torque actually ...

Thanks, Craig, will do. " an anti - seize by any name...." I have a can of it with a brush in the cap, bought long ago. It's silvery, and very messy if it goes to the wrong place. But, it works great. Probably not the best choice as a laxative. Lesson learned long ago after getting tired o...

Mystery solved, much to my embarrassment. As before when fitting the rear wheel, I merely needed to give the spark plug a bit of a nudge to get it to seat properly. I'm really embarrassed about making the same "torque" - related mistake; it's the second time. First time was when setting th...

Thanks Craig,

I shall do that.

Regards,
Richard
