hey everybody! first time for me to post anything here. have a 77 low rider that's been sittin for about 11 years. been working on it for several months now. it starts and runs great but having clutch trouble. not just trouble, the clutch won't release. my next step is to open the primary and get dirty. any tips on this would be appreciated. i'm ancy to get this thing on the road. it is no longer a chain drive, it has the belt drive from an 80 sturgis. again, any help would be appreciated. thanks,
frustrated in illinois
