I just took off the other side today and the clutch appears to be working fine. Its not sticking. So the problems has to be the clutch arm hitting the frame. Just wish there was an easy way of taking the clutch arm from the pin camshaft.
I also noticed that there was some wear on the pin camshaft and that also would be the reason for additional clutch disengagement.
Ideas still welcome.
The wear to the edge of the cam is actually another modification that some people like to do, lol.
I guess this IS the reason why you need to pull the arm further in to open/disengage the clutch than you did before.
It makes me wonder why it wore down and is this abnormal wear. How much use has the part had? Is the bucking bar ball bearing failing to isolate the bucking bar from the rotation of the rest of the clutch/drive shaft parts?
You can bend the arm out, I suppose. You will be making the angle that the cable pulls from even more acute (heavy to operate) if you go through with this, though.. I would prefer to find a way to adjust it to disengage before the arm hits the frame.. but I am repeating myself..
So how come your clutch arm hits the frame anyway? Just out of interest. Weird frame, or what? Maybe someone will have an idea to do with this. Can you show us photos of this?
