Hi,
I have had this sled since 2002 but have not even started it up since my 8 year old was born......changing diapers instead of riding
Anyway clutched it in 2004 and had a lazy guy synchronise the carbs, he could only reach two and so ignored the third. I ended up melting a hole in the side of the engine.
Put in a new engine, bought from a BC guy on this site in 2004, and never rode it since. The problem was that I burnt a few belts right away as she brought up solid on any incline. Presumably the brake was half seized, the clutch was screwed up or I did something to the jackshaft bearings in my attempts to install it all by myself in my garage.
Now I want to ride again. I'm going to fix it
1) I want to put the clutches back to stock. What color are the stock springs again?
2) I installed a 1,25" ripsaw track at the time I installed the rebuilt engine. Could I have damaged the jackshaft bearings during the reinstallation process. Maybe I bent something inside the chain case.
Anyway I'm going at it until I find the problem starting with the clutches, brake rebuild, then chaincase, then take the jackshaft out to inspect the bearings if I have to.
Any info appreciated from those who know
BTW I really like my Pantera 1000! It's like a Cadillac on drugs so I want to fix it.
