OK, here it is, long and unedited. If you want to see about 10 minutes of what we did to mess with my 1915 Harley to figure out how to get it started and running, here ya go.

This is about as close as you are going to get to feel what it was like - frustrating and fun.

Boy, it's a long way to be ready for the Motorcycle Cannonball!

Buzz,
You need one of these worse than any white man in history.

so buzz ,you still think the 1916 tranny has no advantage over the 1915 trans?

Thanks Buzz! Once you get it all dialed in you won't be worrying about swapping out the trans....... That's one sweet Harley!

A messed up carb and loose magneto with bad timing would be just as hard to start with a 1916 transmission as a 1915 one. But thanks for the poke Lonnie. :-)

Funny to read some of the posts about this video on other forums. I am amazed at how much some people know about these early Harleys and how little others do who claim to be experts.

I am learning as fast as I can.

When you get everything dialed in like it should be, you should be able to start similar to the '16 and later tranny's... standing on one side, just step down. My shins are scarred from trying to start my '15 when the timing wasn't right!
