It's old. It has oil pressure. Oil filters get warm so oil is flowing. I'm calling it good. 7psi is good on my Harley shovelhead and it's been running since 1978. Getting the throttle to stay in one place and more checks on the charging system. Ya, that's what I'll worry about.

The throttle position control for the D6B is on the governor (behind the lever). Take it apart, clean it up, check the rollers and housing for flat spots and check the springs. Assemble with light oil only. If flat spots are found, those parts will need to be replaced.

Thank you for that info. I will tackle that first thing after Christmas is over. Rain all day today and have to be on the road tomorrow to spend some time with the rest of the family. Merry Christmas All!

Hi ebb,
That's not the type control on the D6B.
It uses the forerunner of the roller/ramp clutch type that later got incorporated into a separate shaft and housing.
I'd post some pictures but my scanner is currently out of commission.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
