ral Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 OLD CARBS ARE A COMPLETE PHOOKERS SO MANY BITS TO PHOOK UP ON If in doubt disconnect cable set tickover adjuster until happy reconnect cable. And don’t think your pilot jets are clean just cause you can see daylight through them Quote Link to comment
SATANSAM Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Now the clutch plates slip haha The bike runs like a beast BUT when throttle pushed shuddenly it revs like hell like when pressing clutch lever...A bit more work to it...WELCOME ANOTHER 8 MONTHS! Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 it might be just weak springs ? but worth measuring springs and plates. my 750et was doing the same but new springs fixed it Quote Link to comment

Whatcha think? Ah.......... sanding the plates if you get really keen you can re dot punch the metal plates. Stretching the springs out using a pair of mole grips and vice works well too . All "racing" mods probably ...... I was laughing with the guy who does my MOTs - same vintage as me , about how you could get away with just swapping number plates between the same model of bike for MOT tests back before computers and everything else , or the restorative powers of brake fluid on expired certificates ....

TonyGee Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 if your clutch is slipping something is out of spec, the measurements will tell you what needs replacing. 1 Quote Link to comment
PanzerWomble Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Clutch pack of fibre plates is £50 , set of springs £15 , probably could do with both after 30 years . I was surprised my clutcvh wasn't ruined after being sat for 10 years , slipped a little but after a run and an adjust settled down ok . 1 Quote Link to comment

TonyGee Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 looking at the springs, I'd say the longer one is a heavy duty one. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes, looks like they changed springs for some TRW ones. The discs looked glazed, well, should be after 20 odd years sitting there doing nothing...So I sprayed them with brake cleaner, copressed air, sanded them, brake cleaner again and comp. air again...All installed...Let's see how the bitch acts. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Those long springs are going to make the clutch action at the lever heavy . Maybe try 3 long and 3 short at first. 1 Quote Link to comment

Dezza Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Yes, only the really ancient air-cooled bikes and their derivatives have 6 spring clutches, doh Quote Link to comment
SATANSAM Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Well, loox like they were glazed...A gentle scrub on sandpaper did the job. At first it was a bit difficult tu get gears in, but after a while ridin everithing perfect. Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 did you oil the plates before you installed them ? Quote Link to comment
