1981 FXWG Shovelhead Problems
In this video, I give a brief introduction & back story to this 1981 FX Wide Glide that needs transmission work. Also I’ve been riding the Servi-Car on one lung coz the rear cylinder hasn’t been running since acquiring this three-wheeled machine, so I’ll be doing an old school compression test on this old Flathead to see if we can figure out how to get that rear cylinder running. Since I got the go ahead to proceed on working on the Shovelhead, I started removing the outer primary and clutch basket but had problems removing the compensator bolt. Still got a lot of things to remove to get to the transmission so watch out for the next videos in this repair series. Enjoy!
