I use a chain wrench which I wrap around the flywheel and "jam" the handle against the frame.  I got the chain wrench at Sears for $15. This keeps the flywheel from turning. Then a 1/2" drive xx mm socket with an 18" +/- breaker bar to remove the nut (reverse thread as you mentioned).  Then use the flywheel remover.  This has worked on both my KTM and Sachs motors.

Thanks Bob,
I have a couple of those isolators and they worked just fine.

Thanks, I found the parts in my Sachs stash, however the rubber mount has disinigrated.  Are they still available?  Also, how is the bezel removed from the speedo.  I can turn it but it doesn't spin off.

I'll be riding a 1972 Jackpiner.

I'm also matching the colors on a '72 Jackpiner.  On my (stock) bike, the color of the tank and the side panels are different shades of blue.  Possibly due to (1) the parts have "aged" for quite a few years and/or (2) the tank is fiberglass and the side panels are metal with the blue painted over a yellow base.  Also would appreciate any paint codes.
Thanks,
Gary

 

Thanks Kip and Doug,  I did use PB Blaster, a propane torch and a pipe wrench.  It left a couple small marks, but I was able to easily file them out.

Paul:
Occasionnally, I would have a problem starting the bike with the Mikuni.  I'm going to put it back on today and see what happens.  I was also thinking the motoplat might be the problem.  Although usually the problems like this are carb related.
Thanks,
Gary

 

John:
The choke is a slide assembly that goes up and down with in the piston assembly.  To start I set the choke slightly on, tickle the carb until it is overflowing and then kick.  However, since this problem has started I have to bump start the bike.
Thanks,
Gary

 

John:
My Jackpiner had'nt seen a Bing in 29 years.  Started first kick with the tickler and choke.
Thanks,
Gary

 

Thanks John:

I have the choke mounted on the left side.  In this position the lever is oriented toward the back of the bike when it is off.  Is this correct?  I'll add the rubber band.

I'm still hunting for a '97 replica if anyone knows of one for sale.
Thanks,
Gary
