Clutch Problems

[surfrider4545]

Ok so i just received my engine in the mail today thanks to every one here at Bike Berry. I don't grasp how to do the clutch cable. The clutch arm on the motor hits the seat tube thus not creating enough resistance on its own. I mean i can use the little piece that you put at the end of the wire but that only holds it in against the seat tube. As of right now the motor is engaged so the only thing i can think of is just to push start it but then i wont have an idle? Any Thing Will Help If pictures will help let me know

Got a vise to bend the clutch arm a little? If you got the muscle use two pair of vise grips!

I bent it just a little and it works great now my chain is going from real tight to real lose is that normal?

Your rear sprocket prob needs centering.

This will help you with pretty much anything. I am looking for a link I found that explains how to center it. Check out all 3 parts.

I am having trouble with the clutch arm vibrating out or poping out of the motor giving me know clutch until I push it back down into the engine.

Any ideas would be much appreciated. Regards Googs.

There's suppossed to be a little pin inside the cover that holds the lever down.
