Pulled the primary cover and transmission cover off of the Indian tonight. I was pretty pleased with the condition of what I saw...
The primary chain looks very good, and the engine and clutch sprockets look okay too. Mostly, I was impressed with how clean everything was. No gunk built up in the bottom at all.
Likewise, the internal parts in the transmission are very clean, with only a little evidence of wear. The simplicity of the Indian "crashbox" three-speed trannie made me laugh. It's about in neutral right now. Moving the sliding gear to the left is first, a little to the right is 2nd, and all the way to the right is 3rd (1:1).
Here you can see how the shifter mechanism engages the pin in the middle picture... I think I need to order some specialized tools to proceed from here...
Damn, that thing looks pretty sanitary.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how much the primary looks like a Unit Triumph on steroids.
