Let's compile a list of tuning tips for Do It Yourself tuners to share ideas on tuning or servicing HW97 or 77 or even general springer tuning tips.
Let's keep in mind that no one is claiming to be a gunsmith or professional tuner and these are just amature sugestions that we remember only for ourselves.
We just want to share our ideas for educational purposes only.
OK I will start and it's my hope that the best list of tuning tips the world has ever seen, will emerge as we all share our ideas:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
Tip #1 Don't forget to have fun. If your not having fun while tuning your springer ..... -You're doing it wrong. -
_
Tip #2 Tap the trigger pins out from Right to Left..... The pins on the Record trigger are designed to be tapped out from the Right to the Left and installed from Left to Right this is a general rule in gunsmithing.
Tip #3 Trump won the election never for get that... OK just haviing fun.
Tip #4 Use a torque screwdriver with hollow ground bits so you can tighten all fasteners to specs and not booger up all your screws. The Wheeler Fat Wrench is probably the most popular choice and for good reason.
Tip #5 Don't over tighten the rear trigger screw. Weihrauch recommends 20 inch-pounds but 20 is too much. I tightend my rear screw to 20 and stripped out the nut. The nut that attaches to this screw is thin and only holds by a few threads. I would suggest no more than 15 in-lbs.
Please add to our list as you see fit. Thank you!
