woodro77 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 did you adjust the clutch when you put the clutch in , with 2 arrows on the top of the case ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 did you adjust the clutch when you put the clutch in , with 2 arrows on the top of the case ? Yep... If the arrows don't line up properly prior to putting the side cover, the adjustment at the cable end does you no good. Put slack in the cable, push the clutch arm with your hand. The arrows should line up just as you feel resistance and can't push it by hand anymore (note I said by hand, not with help of pliers, prybar, etc.) If they line up...then adjust it at the lever. For a cold motor, I always leave about a 1/8 inch gap where the lever meets the perch until it starts to disengage. If you're beating on it, you might get more play...so, tighten as needed...but check it often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Madd Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Did you soak the clutch fibers in oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
