Clutch noise
Anyone know about the clutch adjusting screw? There is a flat on the adjusting screw that doesn't appear to do anything. When installed into the clutch assembly it spins freely. Is it supposed to do that. Why the flat? I have a ticking noise coming from the clutch assembly and this is all I can find. Thanks for any help.

The adjuster screw is supposed to bottom out against the pushrod. You should feel the resistance and then back it off about 1/2 turn. Then you need to lock down the nut. If it is spinning, you didn't do something right.

Dawg, Thanks for the response. I believe when I replaced the compensator and took off the cluth adjuster nut ( which resisted) my impact wrench ,instead of using an allen wrench to hold it , I ruined something else inside the clutch assembly. The clutch works well and is smooth but listening to it witha stetescope I can hear a ticking almost like a loud lifter. Engaging the clutch or putting it in gear doesn't change anything. It is loud on the road. It looks like ( in the manual) the push rod goes into the adjuster and into the rod assembly and they should be locked together by the squared end but I don't know. Is this how it works? Thanks in advance.

Ripped it back apart and can't find anything wrong. The squared shaft is just for oil to pass through. I went over every detail and can't see anything wrong. Have to get more fluid when Harley opens up and see how it goes.
