Clutch Reassembling clutch - cover with clutch arm won't attach

[Mathew]

Hello Did You Manage To Sort The Problem ?

I Have Had The Same Issue Tonight And Found A Solution

Problem solved for my issue with the cover of the clutch arm not fitting back on as the pin seemed to be to long.

Hello , i had this problem today after adjusting the clutch at the Flywheel. Remove clutch cable from the arm.The problem was that i needed to tighten the clutch flywheel really tight (the Butterfly nut, the nut which is held in place by the small screw) tighten this really tight. Now try put the pin in and re assemble the cover that has the clutch arm on that sits over the cog tighten all screws. Now refit the clutch cable to the arm . Then untighten the Butterfly and adjust to required amount.

I don't have the issue anymore. I have a new one. I just installed a new carb because the throttle cable broke. But now I'll tried riding, and it didn't run well. I'm on a 20:1 oil ratio. Not even 100 miles in. And when I let it sit and warm up because it's been days since I last used the thing, it started smoking.....And bubbles are coming through the gas line but no gas is leaking. Any ideas? Oh, and the e clip on the needle is on the second notch going down the needle. That what I had it at before throttle cable broke. So what could it cause the engine to overheat and not run?....

not sure what your gas and oil are like where you are, but I always use 32:1 after run-in

excessive smoke is most often due to leaving gas turned on when motor is not running

 

[Sasha1234]

But I had the carb off for four days....So it's not the gas.

 

[Sasha1234]

So 32:1 wlis what? 3 or 4 oz oil to one gallon gas?

 

[crassius]

4oz

 

[Sasha1234]

Right. And 20:1 would be 6oz. That's what I have after breaking it in. But damn, I don't understand. It was working just fine before.

I have two of the bolts that attach the drive sprocket cover ( can't see a name for that on the diagrams you've helpfuly supplied) screwed in almost all the way, and the clutch works when I manually move the camshaft.

Can I simply shorten the bucking bar and go from there? I know the cover will screw in properly if the bucking bar is a bit shorter, but not sure how it would affect operation. My bucking bar is made of a bit stronger metal than the camshaft, so it won't wear itself away after cutting it, just wondering if that's an acceptable fix or if something else will screw up after I've done it.

I have the same damn problem now and the last time I took both covers and flower but off. Last summer it took me days to figure out that it was some sort of balance between the clutch and bucking ball. DO NOT SHORTEN THE BUCKING BAR!!!!. I thought of doing that until I finally figured it out. Only thing is, I'm having this problem again and can't remember the solution. It does have some to do with the clutch and cam shaft allowing enough room for the bucking bar to go back in a little. I'll post again when I get this sorted out.

It should just be a matter of tightening the flower nut on the clutch. As you tighten it, the shaft is pulled towards the clutch, shifting everything to the right side.

I think he made the same mistake and took the flower nut off again lol...

That whole problem he's having is he can't get the clutch cover on enough to manipulate the arm so he can fully put the nut in place, at least that's what it seems like.

My solution: start bolting the cover on using all 3 screws, just do it evenly and slowly, like a single full turn on one, then the next, and so on. The strength of the bolts alone being driven into the engine is enough to pull the clutch arm cover flush against the motor. Then adjusting the clutch is easy and done how it otherwise would be done.
