#733884 signalzero (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 915 A few final stator questions, I promise. 4 Years ago   When I took the generator cover off there was no washer on the bottom bolt. Im looking at the cover where the bolt was removed from and I see what could be the washer stuck inside the hole. Is that the washer or is that part of the cover and the new washer is supposed to sit against that? I will attempt to attach a picture. Next question, is there a way to condition the bolts for the exhaust? Mine are all rusted and felt brittle as I removed them earlier.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #733885 signalzero (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 915 Re:A few final stator questions, I promise. 4 Years ago   ok. give me a minute to get the picture attached. not the best picture.   Logged     Last Edit: 2014/02/01 16:05 By signalzero.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #733913 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:A few final stator questions, I promise. 4 Years ago   No real way to condition the bolts that I know of.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #733914 signalzero (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 915 Re:A few final stator questions, I promise. 4 Years ago   jd750ace wrote: No real way to condition the bolts that I know of. ok. is that normal?

The washer (gasket) should just pop off. It's copper colored if I remember correctly. It shouldn't be stuck to anything. I bought a new one and replaced when I did my stator. it appears your cover is black. maybe somebody painted the washer to your cover   Logged     Last Edit: 2014/02/01 17:40 By greenpus.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #733962 signalzero (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 915 Re:A few final stator questions, I promise. 4 Years ago   greenpus wrote: signalzero wrote: Still need an answer if anyone knows about the cover and if that is the old washer stuck inside. mine was a copper washer (gasket) that was under the bolt head.

Thanks for the info. Now I have other problems, my Harbor Frieght torque wrench must me off because Mongo just snapped the long bolt with the washer off.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #734010 Ricohoc (User) I am a man of peace, but I adore a riot!

When I am doing routine maintenance and find bolts that aren't in the best of shape, I stop what I'm doing and take a ride down to the Nuts & Bolts shop and get replacements. Sometimes I buy a double set so that I have a spare. Last time I was messing with anything that required the exhaust bolts to come off, I cleaned them up real well and used some Vaseline on them. They looked better and even felt a bit better, but I still went and got some replacement bolts in the event they go south.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
