The Yamaha shift shaft must have touched ground when on side and knocked her out of time for shifter. Centered and ready to rip once seat brackets arrive. Year old gas and laying her on side for repair sure makes for sore foot when in sandals... she must be flooded...

Bad cable?

Is this all the travel we get?
78 IT250.

New clutch stack and springs on 78 IT250 but doesn't feel right. Adjuster in as far as possible cable and perch Adjuster fully extended to get my slack and full tension pull. She pulls hard.
Hoping after break in I do not need to pull side cover again but new to this and need some tips.

These tow hooks should be in trunk when you just cannot hook onto things to pull vehicle onto a flatbed or car hauler, I had to pull on things that may have tossed me out of alignment and used rim in rear to get her home, now did not put her too tight as only 3 miles to go, but if had to go further these are surely needed so bought a pair for my W204, 22m thread.

2013 C300 W204 ESL is messy when locked position.

What a fiasco.
Home in time for game.
Key not recognized tried all the tricks.
Got her to crank from under hood but no fire.
Emulator service takes few weeks.
Car hauler battery was too low 1st attempt return home for spare battery and joy. Fun no load when cannot steer. Glad wheels were straight.

Was thinking of this seat cover.
Many color options, camo option and a combo option.
Asking what combo is possible and how it would look as it only front n back changes what mix of materials I would want.
White or black I think were options, have a yellow to replace on one of the 2 covers, that is if I have actual 78 seat baskets or not.

Finally tore into the 1978 yamaha IT250 to see what up with clutch. This doesn't seem right.
Cheaper out and ordered new Caltric Kevlar discs n steels, under $40 shipped off ebay.
That hub needs to be on there tighter, right?

Break-away added to car hauler.
Hook up as needed.
Some states require this feature.
Does yours?
