Having trouble with the brakes. For some reason they will not adjust and hence no brakes.
Read the maintenance manual -- but it did not help.
If someone could post a process simply for adjustment I would appreciate it.

Mine does not have the spring but the same setup as the 1978 Electric for the brakes.
It is black and looks like a shock absorber and there are supposed to be 2 springs but both springs are missing.

thanks in advance for any help

C114, when you have a 1976 cart that has parts installed from other years it is very helpful to have a photo of what you are talking about. That way people who are familiar with them can see what is going on.

Hope this helps.

The reason for the photos (we are communicating in 2 threads now) is to see what you are talking about. If you will look, there are only 8 threads including yours that have been commented on this year with Harley carts.

Having said that, I happen to have stock 1976 DE in my collection of project carts. I will gladly help with your problem. I can go to the shelter it is under and look at the cart to see what you are talking about. It would take me a lot of research that could be solved with one photo.

Welcome again!

Many thanks -- will take a couple of photos from the brake pedal to the motor rotor. I will use the other thread regarding the photos etc.

The other thread is for "introductions" post your technical questions here.

I do not use web based sources for posting pictures so I cannot post one.
But below is a link to the parts manual and it is on page 8 for the brake set up I have.
The parts manual call it a dampner. My problem is adjusting the brakes.

Here is the link
