Don't Super Glue as Alternate to Welding the Clutch Nut

Nup,
Try "Wishing Well" first ( by Free. ),THEN she'll get there to here or whatever.

However,
It seems you might have damaged the slots in the small gear.
If it breaks again, then I am afraid ya gonna have to get the gear and another new key that ought to be supplied with the gear.
IF, and I hope it hasn't messed the slot on the shaft, hope it works.
IF, you HAVE messed up the slot in the shaft, well friend, no amount of wishing will help.


Good Luck !
 
The only thing that broke was the key.
This first happened two months ago, when I made the vid above.
I checked the glue job this morning, and had a quick test run,
and its working. IE the motor now engages.

Was not game to ride it to work, in case the glue breaks halfway,
I'll give it a decent test run in the next day or so and report back.
 
Acetone

Acetone (nail polish remover) dissolves super-glue. Be sure to get the acetone type nail polish remover, or pure acetone, and not the acetone-free type.

A few precautions:
  1. acetone is extremely flamable
  2. be sure you use it in a well-ventilated location
  3. acetone can damage paint.
 
Use Petrol to Unglue

Ok,

After using super-glue then a good chunk of Araldite, the bike worked for like about 500metres, and then the glue came undone.

A friend told me that using heat on super-glue will make it stick harder.
but, Using PETROL is the key to unglueing.
and what do we as a group have available, lotsa Petrol.

So, I laid the bike on its side, filled up the whole clutch area with PETROL,
soaking the Clutch Nut every 5 mins with Fuel.
After about an hour of doing this, the Nut finally released.

See attached Pic of NUT and note the washer is completely covered in Glue.
I soaked it all in Fuel again for an hour.
I also found the old Wood-Ruff Key inside the clutch area, it had been ground down abit, but will work as a spare.

Dude..... lets ride!!!!!

heard you got it fixed mate

so lets test it with some riding

:D:p
 
yes my bikes now running,
and man its kicking RRRRse.

So we'll see how my bike compares to yours and this
time I won't have pedal.

off topic, BUT,
when we meet next tuesday.
(there is a joke thats similar to that)
FSAAA, I want to record you doing that jump over the speed hump.
that was awesome.

I think the safest way, would be, to be stationary and record, rather than riding
along and recording you, although that could be an option.

We'll see what else happens on the day.

CYA
