Front wheel messing with my head.

Yes, you are up the creek by removing the eccentric screw.
The return spring for the drum actuator has two long ends which are supposed to hug that screw shaft.
You can't just reinstall the screw and land in the middle of the spring arms because the spring arms will close up.

The picture is from a different gearbox but yours works the same.
The round head is the screw being squeezed by the spring arms.

The only way to get a paddle now is to open the gearbox.

Okaaaay, I think I'll drop over to Italy and just buy one ready for the road .
Joking aside, another strip down was not on the list of jobs to do, but when the devil drives . Good job I'm retired

That's not a bad job, no need to shim up the shafts etc and bearings sit loosely in the seats. Half a day of a fun. I know language won't help, but see my pics done during the broken spring swap.,

I'd suggest to keep the shafts fitted in the rear cover, no need to remove them. I've stamped eccentric screw's head(preferably in deepest recess place), so later I know its position and can play from outside!

Thanks a million,the pics are brilliant and google translate is a very handy tool. The fun begins this week

Hi folk,
Firstly the bike belongs to a friend of mine and I'm trying to help him restore it. Secondly, in my defence, I wasn't there when he dismantled the wheels, so no photos until we dismantled the rest of the frame. I always do. I learned this the hard way when I was working on my 1969 Merc 4cyl outboard the first time .
Bike is a 1982 V35.
Problem one: Pics we've looked at for V35s on the web show the calipers front of forks, under the headlamp, and back of forks, back towards the engine block. Which is the correct way? We have tried it both ways.
Problem two: When we put the spindle in with the washer and spacers as per the manual, there are gaps either side of the wheel between it and the forks so as when the spindle nut is tightened the brake discs bind on the forks. And gaps either side of the wheel which, if the bike was moving, the wheel would move from side to side, that would be a hairy ride . Spindle head end is flush with the fork.
Problem three: Calipers will not mate with the mounting bracket, gap of about 1/8".
If anyone could post a pic of the correct orientation of the calipers and sequence of the washers, spacers and speedo, which I do know goes on the righthand side of the bike, it would be very much appreciated, thank you.

Not sure it has been mentioned but the axle/spindle is on one side a little bigger and works as a spacer

We worked that out and now on to the other headaches. I'm fiddling with the electrics tomorrow, I'll start a new thread for that, and not looking forward to it as the loom is a generic one fits all, except it doesn't. When you google harness for '88 V34, only I figure this is an '81-'85 V35 II, it throws this one up and due to the time elapsed, it's non returnable, but we will work it out. Did I say I was retired?
When the loom is sorted, we'll hit the gear box and the eccentric bolt.

So pulled the bolt, looked in saw the spring, rotated it up, until I could see both prongs either side of the bolt hole, screwed the bolt in. I marked the "flat" end and set it to the left.
Now the question is, is this correct?

If you can shift through the gears, and the shift linkage returns to center on its own, it is correct. Usually you have to have the cover off and set the spring over the bolt, but hopefully you will get lucky.

If it works, I'll buy a lottery ticket
