I got one PR installed OK it bled down after several minutes but the next 2 I put in will not bleed down, all are set at 20 flats. I followed the video and the first one is OK but the other two will not loosen up. Why are these two so tight. Am I doing something wrong?

make sure that you are on the base circle when you start to adjust the pushrod,do you feel that lifters are springy when you adjust the pushrod,if not the lifters can be stuck in bottom if you have adjustit in wrong place Crister M

you did good, but usually i only go 18 flats and when you tighten the push rod you loose a 1/4 turn. try that..just fyi, start process with the rear intake fully open( push rod all the way up!!) adjust the front intake 18 flats, put the front intake up, adjust the rear intake 18 flats, do the same for the exhaust you should be fine!! fire up go riding!! dont worry about the bleed down, you will be fine..any questions you can call 7326008340

are you sure you are on the back side of the lobe? if you watch the intake valve stop moving and then move the cylinder to TDC both valves will be closed and you will be on the back of the cam. I check for TDC wilth a long skinny screwdriver through the spark plug hole.

Sound like you don't have it at the base circle of the cam. start on the Front Cylinder, install intake and exhaust, wait for bleed down, then move to the rear cylinder and install those two, you will have to spin the wheel to get it to the base circle. Did you start with new tappet? Did you pre soak them for 48 hours in oil prior to install?This is a great video and its what i followed and it worked great.http://youtu.be/8jqJck0vQRwIf you have more questions, look up hdforums.com, lots of guys that are willing to help.

The best way to be sure every pushrod is adjusted properly is to start with the first pushrod on the lowest point of the cam, achieved by rotating the rear wheel until you see or feel with your fingers, the tappet raise then lower. Once that tappet lowers, you extend that pushrod until it comes to rest on the tappet(lifter). At that point you adjust it down the number of flats per instructions. Then wait at least 20 min to be sure it bleeds down. After 20 min you should be able to spin the pushrod with fingers, only then can you rotate the rear wheel again to get the next tappet on the lowest point of the cam and adjust it repeating the process for each pushrod, one at a time.

You may be beyond the low end of adjustment. 30 is the factory set low, there is adjustment to lower under the cover, but 18 psi may be too low for this pressure switch. you kmay need to use the 20=40 version with low pressure drop out. bob

I am doing 10 GPM. I am sure it can take more since I do not notice a drop in pressure before the unit was installed and after the unit was installed. What is your reason for buying the unit?

Here is my video showing how I installed and I explain how to tighten each side a little bit until they are snug. Maybe one side is tighter and its not allowing the other side to sit flush. All I get for noise on mine is a slight whistle while going down the road. I want to find some type of spoiler that can go on the front to get rid of the whistle when I am not hauling anything. You could also take them down one at a time and see which one is making the noise. Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions. http://youtu.be/QZcza0KBh9M

I have seen as much as 50 psi give or take how quick you are removing it. I'm a heavier rider so I have to wrestle with it a bit but it doesn't usually take too much longer to get correct. I'd suggest a decent pressure gauge to ease the issues. Good idea to have one of those anyway.

After three inner-tubes.....finally checked here, had the same issue, and called for 2 free tubes. Apparently, you should only inflate the tube to 20 psi despite the tire stating 36 psi. Wish I would have known. That would have saved three rides we thought we were going on. I suggest the manufacture contact customers about this flaw rather than wait for someone to get hurt.

I too initially had problems with them sticking but I found if you apply pressure and heat for several minutes (2-3 minutes) when you put it on it stays much better. When put them on press the palm of your hand on the electrode - that gives it both pressure and warmth and you will probably need to do that each time you put on the electrode. They still don't stick as well as other I've had but these will do until I need them again. Don't use alcohol or anything else on them but you can use a little warm water on them when you reapply them and that might help as well.

I haven't had a problem. I'm a good bleeder. I think the advise others have given should be helpful. Try holding it flat to the drop of blood. Also adjust the lacet and wash your hands in warm water before so that you can produce a better drop.

The main thing is to have a smooth seal. I have older surfaces with a bit of wear and cleaned with 409. The grip holds very well. I've also heard that if you move and reset them too often, they may not work so well, so choose your placement carefully.

amazon asked me to answer this for some reason. are you cutting clean or dirty metal? have you made sure the cut head is assembled correctly? do you have a good ground? mine wont cut unless it has a clean spot to start on. and also clean air is crucial for it to cut good. how old is the plasma? ive cut about 150ft of 1/4 plate flawlessly with only changing the consumables a few times. not sure how plasma savvy you are this isnt a post to offend you just trying to help. hope this helps. also a bad ground on the power side could be causing a issue. are you gettn air flow when you push/pull the trigger? amazon asked me to answer this for some reason. are you cutting clean or dirty metal? have you made sure the cut head is assembled correctly? do you have a good ground? mine wont cut unless it has a clean spot to start on. and also clean air is crucial for it to cut good. how old is the plasma? ive cut about 150ft of 1/4 plate flawlessly with only changing the consumables a few times. not sure how plasma savvy you are this isnt a post to offend you just trying to help. hope this helps. also a bad ground on the power side could be causing a issue. are you gettn air flow when you push/pull... » Read More amazon asked me to answer this for some reason. are you cutting clean or dirty metal? have you made sure the cut head is assembled correctly? do you have a good ground? mine wont cut unless it has a clean spot to start on. and also clean air is crucial for it to cut good. how old is the plasma? ive cut about 150ft of 1/4 plate flawlessly with only changing the consumables a few times. not sure how plasma savvy you are this isnt a post to offend you just trying to help. hope this helps. also a bad ground on the power side could be causing a issue. are you gettn air flow when you push/pull the trigger? « Show Less

it's simple ..many people will screw up the first time or the second time trying to install it..then you have a third chance..that's why they send you 3...personally mine was installed succesfully the first time..i sold one to a friend...and i keep one for in case i needed...but until now the one i install looks very good!!

I found all my runout (more than you) to be in the spindle. I emailed WEN customer support and they are sending me a new spindle. I hope that swapping it out will get me the results many others have had. I have many MT#2 tapers and chucks that all run true, so if the spindle is correct, everything else should fall into place.

Spray with Cool Lube or other lubricant, move the lever back and forth a few times, a lot of times that will free it up. I've also noticed that if you use one position a lot it won't clip there, but will clip on the other lengths.

I put the pump in and used the same locking ring, why would you need a new one? the old one works fine. Getting the ring on and turned into place is tough, I needed to wedge it down with sticks from the bed to be able to turn it. I jacked the bed up on the tank side... there is stuff on U-Tube on how to do that.Lots of luck. the pump has only 2 slide post instead of 3 but once in works fine. My failure was due to it overheating, I let the tank get almost empty (maybe a gallon fuel left) so the pump could not cool down, now I NEVER let the tank get below 1/4 always having liquid in there to cool it down.

Hi Shawn. We had the same problem.we started the installation at three o'clock so that it will end up closer and then back to it off and install the clamp. We had no leak.

All of these answers are good!Be very careful when locking the last bearing on. I have learned that if you squeeze too tight, you can collapse the bearing, therefore breaking at least the first one, if not the 2nd one. I found it is almost better to put two spacers in between the last bearing and your tightener.

Same thing with me but I put a little air in it- put it inside the tires-put them on the rims and then pumped them up to correct pressure and they worked great. Try it- I didn't think they were the right size but they have been on 2 months with no problems.
