Re: Harley Davidson 1970 Golf Cart Restoration Project
Well finally got back around to doing some work on Cart after numerous home projects wife had me doing in house during this crazy time. Anyhow, I completely took front suspension out and readjusted springs and such and look like the problem is fixed and I have about 3" clearance now between cross bar and top of tire!
So my next item -- Valve rings. So my piston has 010 stamped on it. I bought .010 rings but my gap is like .019-.020. Is that Ok? I know specs say like .007 - .014 max. Should I get different size rings to close gap? |

Re: Harley Davidson 1970 Golf Cart Restoration Project
Check your cylinder to piston clearance first to be sure it is in spec. If not hone for a larger
piston and fit to the bore. just using oversized rings may work for a time but it is always better to use the proper specifications. |
