How To Change Stator On 78 Gl1000

roadwanderer2 wrote:oh aye, sure, merely pull the motor off and remove the back cover. and while we're at information technology, lets sandblast the engine and repaint information technology and rip the carbs autonomously and rebuild them too. glad you lot remember its that easy . you know im just messing with ya correct? I wish I could have the motor off of mine to replace the stator on mine also, but I cant practise it alone, I would need some help and I don't have anyone around here that's capable of helping me. I would as well have the carbs sent to pistol Pete'due south for a rebuild simply that'southward non in my financial budget. it would take me about half-dozen months to salvage up plenty for that. and while all that's being done, I would repaint all the plastics.

[start rant] Pulling the motor out, replacing the stator, repainting the engine, pulling the carbs autonomously for a clean or rebuild is what a lot of people on this forum do. That'due south why we're here, to either learn to do what they demand to or to give advice to others on how to do information technology. Plus, you don't know that your stator needs replacing anyway. You lot need to troubleshoot to find out where your charging problem is. For the price of an 1100 carb kit from Randall Washington and time spent reading instead of posting, yous can clean and rebuild your carbs equally well as Pete Boody can.
I, having no easily on experience with GLs at all, rebuilt a set of 755A's and a ready 764A's and overhauled the restriction arrangement on my 1000 and 1100 using threads on here and other sites. I also (with the help of an eighteen pack of Icehouse and some CCR on the Ipod) pulled the motor from a '77 and bolted it into an '80 1100, past myself, at night, in a garage that had no power, with two mini-mags for calorie-free, some boards and a floor jack (the snap ring on the output shaft is a MFer under the all-time of conditions).

roadwanderer2 wrote:permit me ask yous something. is your garage insulated and heated? mine isn't and cinderblock holds in all that cold air. you got lucky with the 2nd bike you got. there's a few around hither that I can pick up cheap. one is an 86 1200 that needs some work and its only $700.00 and a few others for $800 and upward, simply those look like rat bikes lol. there'due south a 75 naked wing for $425.00 that's a "project" cycle. if I had the money to spare, I would get a few of them and go thru them just to ready and flip, merely the 86 1200 I would most likely proceed.

and with this posting, im logging off for the night. sleep well yawl. run across ya's in the mornin.

Seems like almost every thread here lately gets hijacked and off topic. I detest to have to say all this every bit a reply to OP adampiel'southward first and but post here, just this thread is a skilful example of what I'm talking well-nigh. There is a Chat section and PMs for the off-topic stuff.
This is a "How-To" and "DIY" forum, not a "plow every thread here into an off-topic chat almost whatsoever you feel similar existence social nearly today" or "all about me" thread. This topic was posted in the Tech Talk department, instead of the 1100 section (excusable for someone's first mail service hither) merely should not have been turned into a " how many bikes" or "is your garage heated" discussion with someone who replied to the OP.

I discovered this site a few years ago when I caused my commencement GL, a '75. I read everything I could between here, NGW, Classic and Saunder's about maintenance and repairs. Using these sites, I got my 1000 that had sat for untold years dorsum on the route. Aforementioned with my 1100 when I got it. I learned enough to transplant a '77 1000 motor into it. When I got my 1500, I made this my go to/everyday reading site because I discovered it was the all-time as far as 1500 info and How-To's and had pretty expert OT sections. I rarely visit the other sites anymore because I'grand mainly focused on the 1500 at present and dearest reading the non technical sections of the board here.

One thing I remember well when a still a newbie to GLs, reading everything I possibly could virtually them, was when using the search tool to find a thread that related to what I was looking for was that it was a PITA reading through pages of a thread simply to find information technology was full of BS off topic posts nearly "is your garage heated" or "exercise y'all have other bikes to ride"?

I know Scott has his hands full and there are no other mods here, so please try to keep it on topic with your 20 posts a solar day!!! It's getting actually sometime. [/end rant]

Back on topic,,,

If you've never removed the engine before there's a skilful write up on it here http://www.ngwclub.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 51#p136651. It'southward for a thousand only it;s pretty much the same for the 1100 besides the electrical. As far as communication on the stator, you should clean the rollers and parts for the starter clutch while you're in in that location.
