Seems to be functional now, but I still need to check the flower nut adjustment and see if the clutch plate is moving out.

Thanks for the help on this. John

ball bearing. My problem was primarily the wear on the lever that contacts the bucking bar. The clutch would not stay in adjustment.
Thanks, John

Bucking bars are supposed to have a little dent in the end where it meets the ball bearing.
