1978 fxe kick and electric start the problem is replace clutch plates and pads reassembled tryed kicker only clutch hub turns in clutch shell doesnt turn entire clutch shell as before&nbsp\\;only if i use electric start it turns engine over kicker just turns
am I over looking something any help appreciated thanks

 

If I understand you correctly.&nbsp\\; After reassembly when you try to kick it over the clutch slips.&nbsp\\; Did you correctly reassemble it according to the manual?&nbsp\\; Plates put back fiber plate first then metal?&nbsp\\; Did you stager the metal plates so that the spring buffers are not in a line and the word out is facing out?&nbsp\\; After you installed the pressure plate did you tighten down the 3 slotted nuts to give you the 1 1/32 distance from the pressue plate to the spring collar?
&nbsp\\;
Check all that and let me know.
&nbsp\\;

Thanks i put every thing back the way it came out i done my clutch before several times never had this problem this time I put the bike in gear and turned the rear tire it spins the clutch hub not the whole shell

 

Something is keeping your clutch plates apart.&nbsp\\; Back off the center screw and see if that works.&nbsp\\; If it does that was your problem.&nbsp\\; If it was overtightened it may have damage the throwout bearing, especially if it was the new 3 piece type.&nbsp\\; If the center screw doesn't fix it, and you are sure you assembled it right it may be in the kick start side.&nbsp\\; The new style piece throwout bearing has been known to come apart and jam things.&nbsp\\; The starter clutch nut may have backed off.&nbsp\\; I would check these only after I exhausted every possibility on the clutch side.&nbsp\\; Check assembly, check pressure plate adjustment and center screw adjustment.
