Went to the OMVA show in Oshawa today. It was a good shakeout run for me. Gave me a chance to put some miles on it and see if there were any kinks. Also got to see some other MUTTs in the flesh, as well as get a Club Membership:
 I was having some Fuel problems which was causing some sputters every so often. I decided to pull the Carb while I was at the show to see if some junk got in the Idle Passage. It seemed to provide some entertainment to those who popped over. You have to love the simplicity of these things. Anyway, everything appeared nice and clean, so i'm suspecting the Fuel Pump is on its way out. I've noticed that the Fuel Filter (Clear Housing) doesn't seem to completely fill up while its running like it used to, so I may be starving the engine from time to time. Now for the biggy. If you take the time to do a good job installing and maintaining your mechanicals, spring the $$$ to get the High Tensile Cotter Pins like the Tech Manual call for. Even though I went to great pains to make sure the Wheel Bearings were packed and pre-loaded properly, it was the cheapo Cotter Pins that left me in this position:    I'm not ashamed to admit when i've pulled a boner. Fortunately this happened while we were in town rolling at about 10km/h. Needless to say, i'm not sure when i'll convince my wife to come for a ride again. Scotty

Closer inspection revealed that the Cotter Pin sheared and the Nut let go. Looks like the Nut loosened off a bit, then took the threads off, and well, you can see the result.
Needless to say, i've ordered the correct rated/grade Cotter Pins as specified in the TM. Time to put her up on stands again for a bit. Oh, as for the sputtering... It was the plugged up Sock Filter in the Tank

Not the first to have something like that happen
Hi Scott
Thanks for sharing, your not the first person to have this happen to or the last, so the lesson is a good one for the rest of us. Think about those keepers, wheel cotter pins etc. I've been using stainless steel cotter pins but now you make me wonder and make me think about all the critical torque locations that I've used them. Speaking of keepers has anybody found a source for off the shelf nut keepers for CMPs. I'm getting tired of cutting out keepers out of sheet steel, little easier now with a plasma cutter but still takes time. Cheers Phil
