My pics are not displaying in my browser anymore, is anyone else having trouble seeing the pictures?

Same here, I noticed yesterday that pics weren't showing in a couple of threads.

Yay pics are showing again!! I have no idea why they were not showing to begin with, maybe a forum glitch.
Slight setback on the project, left the petcock on prime and it overflowed the float needle twice lol I should have known.
So after changing the oil out twice, go to turn it over to circulate oil and nothing.
Push the start button and the oil light comes on hmm, odd considering just had it running five minutes before and the only thing touched was drain plug filter housing and filler cover.
Time to break out the multimeter but I suspect maybe the oil pressure switch or the starter relay.
Any Ideas please feel free to chime in.

Was cleaning up and dumping my waste oil, and spotted this in the drain pan.
God I hope this motor is not toast, it felt so strong the few times I rode it.
Broken bits of what appear to be a red plastic, I thought it was rtv at first but definitely hard and brittle.

Also looks to be a lot of flecks of metal in the pan, what does everyone think?

Flakes off the edge of the flywheel magnets. I guess it's pretty common. I've seen guys post picss with the bottom of their pans covered with big chunks.

The oil pump screen and oil filter should catch anything.

That's a metric Speedo. You can overlay or replace the face if needed the sweep is the same. You're going to need to replace the rear case anyway.

Will prob swap with the housing I have and do an overlay, the sweep is the important bit.

It looks like the needle may be pressed onto the end of the post which appears to be knurled. Removing it would likely be a tricky and delicate proposition, having a lot of integral precision stuff attached behind the dial face.

Be sure to keep us posted on your progress! :)

While doing some surfing I ran across some pics and videos and I liked the way it looked so I figured what the hell, let's give it a try.
