Here's a question. How easy/difficult is it to change the fork seals on a 69 Ambo.? I find I have no oil left in my forks. Do I need special tools? Bob

You'er right again. The editor of Premier may have had a few too many the night before.

HAH! You'd know if you did it wrong. Early in my loop days, I was reassmbling the rocker shafts. I couldn't remember how they came apart, so I looked in my Premier Motors restoration book. Just follow the picture.
Only problem was that the printer had turned the photograph 90 degrees before printing. So, when I thought I was looking at the left side head, I was, in fact, looking at the right side. What I thought was up, was down. The springs and washers go on the TOP end of the rockers and I had mounted them on the bottom.
Man, what a noise. I stopped the engine and reassembled properly after I realized the book printing error. Go look at page 16 if you can find an original Premier Motors manual. Funny how the little distributor is located BELOW the cylinder.
