" Hey Joe. I used to write you
" Hey Joe. I used to write you about my little motor, but this time I am writing about my bro - in- laws motor. He has a 1968 18 hp Fast Twin and man do he got a problem.
The engine runs fine in neutral, but when he drops it into forward, the thing clunks like it is trying to jump out of gear. He can get no acceleration on it as it clunks even at idle in forward gear.
I was riding with him and noticed that (and you'll have to forgive my ignorance on parts names) the little part that the shift lever moves when engaging forward or reverse, jumps when the engine clunks. I further noticed that the "peg" on the shift lever does not drop fully into the "slot" on that part when put into forward gear.
I hope this isn't too confusing of a post. Basically, I think the motor is just not completely engaging into forward gear and seems to just pop out for a second. Anyway, we hope you can give us an idea as to what we can do to solve this problem.
Thanks a ton for all you do for us who don't know what we are doing (smile). "
