Title: Cheapnewbclutchquestionramble Post by cheapnewb24 on 08/31/16 at 19:37:14 I just finished putting my clutch back together today. I used a new, thicker gasket, and I thought I would end up putting in a longer rod to compensate, but it hasn't turned out that way so far. I haven't run the engine yet, but where the top of the lever used to be close to the upper mark, now the bottom of the lever seems closer to the lower mark, as if the opposite effect happened. :o :-? In other words, my clutch lever moved down a little. :-? By the way, my clutch locknut was loose when I took it apart, if no one remembers. I torqued it and crimped the new lock washer in two places. I don't get it. :-? Hydraulic pressure behind the pushrod maybe? Maybe this relates to the other guy's problem. :-? Perhaps if he takes it apart, throws everything on the floor and puts it back together, maybe the pushrod will be in the right place when he's done. ;D ;D |

Seems to me that a thicker gasket props the cam away from the rod, making the lever have to travel farther upwards in order to contact the rod. Shouldn't go down. Here's a quote from the famous clutch war. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1270678838/30 Sorry about the lack of images. They don't want to show up. Just follow the links. 092A2220232A2A2334460 wrote:

Title: Re: Cheapnewbclutchquestionramble Post by cheapnewb24 on 09/01/16 at 11:10:59 I wonder how the loose clutch basket could have done it. :-? Perhaps the slop was allowing the loose basket to rock slightly upwards, allowing the lever to move a little higher??? If I had left out a clutch disc, it would have done it, or if the basket had hung before properly seating, as in the oil pump engagement issue. Hope not. I doubt it. I don't really want to have to take that cover off again and have to retorque all 12 of those bolts just to find everything is just fine. Besides, if it was that, it would probably show alot more than what it is. As long as I worked on that thing, I ought to have figured it out if that were the case. Or.... maybe...jamming the gears with a zip tie to tighten it threw it off??? http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Confused/confused-22.gif Uggh... :-/ |
Title: Re: Cheapnewbclutchquestionramble Post by ohiomoto on 09/01/16 at 11:53:35 Because your loose basket essentially made the rod shorter. When the basket is held tight on the shaft, more rod is exposed making it seem longer. Honestly, I can't even follow everything you write. It's reading it makes me "ADHD". At this point I don't even know what I just wrote. Maybe I got it backwards. lol |
