If you look on the underside of the jiffy stand, the pin is held in by a screw. If you remove the screw, the pin drops out (it might need a few taps). You can then remove the stand.

AnswerAs disturbing as it sounds the oil filter on the old xlch was a magnet. So while most are not stock (at least in this regard) a dead bone stock ch will not have one, this was to save on weight and complexity) so if you have a xlch that you are restoring to stock or that is stock no and change your oil often otherwise, it could have a screw on filter or a drop in filter in the oil tank. look for either.
HARLEY- DAVIDSON..4A is model xlch 1000 (sportster) 27215 is sequential made......h=(71-79) 7= 1977
Look in a book called "Tech-Tips" put out by Easyrider Magazine, there is a simple wiring diagram that I once used on my 72 XLCH it consist of about 6 wires.
It's the odd looking alpha-numaric on the neck of the frame which should match the engine block. My brothers xlch was cleared by the IDOT recently, and it was deturmined that the "1958XLH****" is the VIN.
This is not an easier answered question. However, in extremely good stock condition; it is worth between $2,750 and $3500. That is going by the retail market as i know it. Realize this is a kicker and electric start did not come out til later. Also, realize that the shifter and the brake are on the opposite sides compared to big twins. They made these like their brtish counterparts; triumph.
really need more info on the bike's performance to rule out certain items, but here goes. i am going to assume electronic ignition and hydraulic lifters. remove timing cover to expose pickup plate, remove timing plug on engine crankcase and use a clear timing plug (available from hd) in the hole. you might want to roll the engine over and clean the advance mark of oil and paint it so it will be easier to see through the plug. crank the engine and at high idle (2000 rpm) and turn pickup plate to align timing mark in the middle of the hole with a timing light on front cylinder. if you got a voes, you need to remove hose and plug it first. you said you advanced the timing already but if it is too far, starting would be a problem on the starter. you could have a lean condition in the carb also that could cause cough back. like i said, need more info. however, i will throw this out to you. if the bike is a high miler, check the rocker arms. why, you ask? i have a 1974 xlch with well over 100k and it developed a problem of free wheeling on starting. the rocker arm had worn down and left a little ridge on the end which at times caused the engine to seem like it was free wheeling but really was rolling up on compression on one cylinder which would cause it to roll backwards being the other cylinder had a stuck valve (valve tip hanging rocker). all you have to do is re-arch the rocker pad to make it smooth again. also a bad plug wire can cause this, i run solid wire core on mine, no electronics.
The clutch on a 1984 Honda Goldwing GL1200 is hydraulic and is not adjustable. There is a slave cylinder for the clutch located behind the engine that must be bled to eliminate air in the system. This air (or old fluid) can cause the clutch lever to engage at the end of it's arc of travel.
to the best of my knowledge there is no electric starter on the 1974..i have a 74 kickstart ive been looking to convert to electric..but im not happy about spending over $400 for the kit..my XL 1000 has been bulleted to 1200 and it kicks back hard enough to break an ankle or send a guy flyin,lol.. if anyone knows how to convert the old kicker without spending an arm and a leg,let me know please..im sure if i don't find a way im gonna break a leg,lol..good luck and take care :) MIKE_666_@LIVE.COM The XLH Sportster came with factory Electric start and is located just right of the battery box. The XLCH has a kick start.
