Default Re: whizzer clutch

Quenton - That is the answer for everything I needed, Thank You. The most alarming portion is the bearing in the clutch not being able to take the pressure of the locked down position of the arm. I added some grease while apart, and I moved the nut to the filler side. If I have to keep the bolt slack to accommodate the belts I have large thin ss steel washers to aid in keeping the outfit straight with slack. I am considering telling the friend of mine that I will help him sell the bike, I like it but am not impressed with the design in the end. The brakes are very poor at best, I hate the belts. I love the look and the sound but am not ready to throw that much money at something I think is going to be problematic. Ill keep you posted it will be hard to send it back. Have fun, Dave

PS: Thanks for the tip on the O ring.
