Pulley's turned while replacing stator, HELP.
 
95 Electra glide ultra classic .Me and a buddy were disassembling the compensating sprocket, as I was trying to get the nut broke lose I felt the sprockets move quite a bit, don't know exactly how much. I stopped until I can get it back in time, correct? can someone explain to me how to get it back into time? Thank you.

IF you are talking about the relationship between the motor sprocket and the clutch hub, there is NO TIMING required.

Do you have a HD factory service manual???? If not it, suggest you invest in one before undertaking repairs. Just my $0.02 worth of knowledge.

That's just the compensator winding up. It will only turn so far and then lock solid. Then nut will come free. Keep that torque straight and supported. A stand under the extension. You can bend something like crank if you don't.

I use a huge 3/4 drive impact. Cheap one but a big one. It won't hurt alternator rotor. What hurts it is a tap on OD. Magnets will pop right out of epoxie glue.

Do you have a wedge between the comp sprocket and the clutch basket assy? if not it will turn on you.

rk classic.

I didn't have a wedge, and it did turn. I had marked the clutch sprocket and chain, but the mark on the chain rubbed off, I know from working on cars timing that there are two marks you have to line up before disassembling, I do have a manual and I think I need to get both sprockets timing mark lined up with chain off and on TDC front cylinder. thank you. first time replacing stator.

Yes, I do have a manual. first attempting this job, I should have been patient and investigated more, but she's been down all riding season and I was going out of my mind. thank you for your response.

I'm pretty sure you're on the wrong side of the motor to worry about timing. The wedge just lets you put torque on the compensator nut otherwise the clutch basket will free wheel on you and you'll never get any torque on it. No matter what you do the primary side is going to spin some. The compensator and clutch hub do not have timing marks to line them up because the transmission doesn't really care where the motor is on it's stroke. It's just waiting for power to be applied through the clutch hub which isn't timed to the compensator sprocket. The timing marks come in to play when you are working on the cams on the right side of the motor. You're good to go, just reassemble and tighten everything to spec and it will run just fine.

There is NOTHING to time between the engine and transmission.

Lee69 Nov 10, 2020 10:08 AM

Thank you, so it is in the same ball park as to timing on a vehicle. I've done a lot of them,. thank you again
