okay.............. the clutch adjustment is WAY to tight. take a spark plug (a standard shovel one will do just fine) and put a piece of hose on the ceramic end as a handle
slack the cable all the way
(Ratchet toptrans)
adjust the adjustment screw on the clutch hub untill the distance from the starter to the clutch release armis the same as the width of the plug threads *approx 1/2 Inch (this is where the hose comes in handy to hold the plug in there.)
(Cow Pietrans)
adjust the adjustment screw untill the distance from the cow pie top cylinder is the same as the hex on the plug *approx 5/8to 11/16 inch.
once this is done, adjust your clutch lever/cableuntill there is about a nickle's width of free play when you pull on the cable after pulling and releasing the lever.
thefreeplay is crucial, if there is too little, there will alwaysbe pressureon the throwout bearing, causing it to burn up.
therelease lever measurement assures that you get the right geometry to give the clutch enough throw to completely disengauge and to completely lock up.
