Stella 2t shift issue after rebuild.
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2016 2:05 am
A friend brought by her Stella 2t looking to get it back in fighting shape after a low end bearing failure.
Rebuilt the thing with a new crank, piston, gaskets, bearings, and buttoned it up again following instructions to a "T".
all seemed well till I go to roll it out of the garage and check the shift cable set up. Apparently I must have switched a gear around or something during re-assembly because now 1st is neutral and neutral is 1st! .
My question for you guys is simple, I have no idea what the hell I did to make this possible, but has anyone else managed to bugger things up as well as I have?
Any one else have an idea what I've done wrong?
I'm stumped and really don't want to rip this thing down again. Especially when I don't know what I did wrong.
I couldn't find anything after 4 hours of forum browsing so maybe I'm just an idiot. Any help/laughter at my expense is greatly appreciated.
