    Hi all,

    I need some advice please.

    I have a custom that i recently stripped for a repaint, i removed motor/trans /primary in 1 piece.

    I removed the clutch cable from inside the cover when removing.

    When i refitted the motor and clutch cable, i had a heap of slack in the cable, so i pulled the derby cover off and checked the adjustment, and adjusted according to the factory manual, which was unscrew the stud, then screw in until i get tension then back the stud off 1/.2 to 3,4 turn amd lock it up, but even with the cable fully adjusted to maximum, i still have about 1 inch of freeplay.

    Before i removed the motor, i still had atleast 1/2 of adjustment on the cable.

    when i removed the engine, i laid it on the primary side, and the push to the clutch pull is still in place.

     

    Any advice would be appreciated

    May be stupid mate but did you....
    - change bars?
    - re route the cables differently?
    Sometimes it is the silly things we forget...dont ask me how i know cause i forget!
