As far as the Idle screw, I wasn't sure if that was it or not, cause if it were, isn't it kinda obvious for them to call it the "Idle Screw"? But they don't... and that's where the confusion comes in.
For the clutch, I had engaged the clutch at one point and then disengaged it, but it didn't release right, and there was a weird noise from that side. I removed the clutch cover and the flower nut to see if there was anything on the other side that was off. When I put it back on, I found a few things off.
1) The flower nut itself seemed warped. In this I mean that when I threaded it, and I double checked to make sure I was not cross-threading, when the flower nut hit the plat, it was only on 1 side of the flower nut, with the other side still a good turn / turn and a half away from touching the plate.
2) I couldn't find anywhere that seems to agree on the distance of play the clutch arm is due to have when you adjust the clutch.
3) This is all 5X more pertinent today, as on my way to work the chain sprocket on the clutch shaft somehow stripped itself. One moment I'm Cruisin, then the clutch slipps, catches, 5 or 6 times over half a mile, then just as I'm slowing down to take a look, it goes out all together. I peddle to work, open the clutch arm cover, and find the sprocket has been completely stripped, as well as the clutch shaft. This means I have to replace this as well, and since I have 2 other motors at home, I think I have the parts to do this, but again, once I've done so, I need to re-tension the clutch right.
Soooooo.... If I could get some advice on how to remove the clutch shaft, as well as how to properly tension it once it's been replaced, I would appreciate it. And in case I get deferred there, I've looked at Norms 2 clutch posts, seen below, and they don't fully cover how to pull it out, at least not that I can understand (Sorry Norm, no offense).
Any help would be MUCH Appreciated, as this bike is my one and only transportation to and from work.
Ride'n the bus....
