Marc clayton Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 Hello does anyone know what size push rod it uses for a cable type set up? I seem to have two push rods one seems too short to set up and the other seems too long and my casing doesn’t seem to want to sit flush on my engine Quote
dupersunc Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 On the cable type there is a lock nut and adjuster under the rubber bung which gives you some adjustment for different length rods Quote
Marc clayton Posted December 26, 2020 Author Posted December 26, 2020 Yep seen that, but I’m wanting to know which rod is the right one? cheers Quote

Marc clayton Posted December 26, 2020 Author Posted December 26, 2020 Just tried the short one and fully adjusted it doesn’t even reach, but if I put the longer one in, my case doesn’t want to close up tight to the engine, even full adjusted to nothing? Quote
clivegto Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 What are the lengths of the the ones you have. Quote
clivegto Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 Not done this recently but I did right this on my shed wall. 1 Quote
Marc clayton Posted December 26, 2020 Author Posted December 26, 2020 Must be the 80mm one then I’ve just put that in and adjusted it, but I think the plates are stuck so I’ll have to give it a run, I’m not sure when this engine was last on the road so I’ll give it a blast to the mot station and get a ticket on her Quote

Cheers for that I’ll screen shot it, because I’ve got a bandit 12 lump that I’m going to throw in my slingy 750 when I get round to finishing this pig Quote
Lachie04 Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 Recently measured the extension length of my cable push rod from the seal face and got 65.1 - 65.4mm since all covers are interchangable I would anticipate this is somewhere around what you need for the actuator to work within adjustable range.

Dezza Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Install the case with the free-play screw removed, then install the free play screw/locknut. If the screw is too short to enable correct free play make a longer one from a SS set screw. All you have to do is cut it to length and then cut a groove in the top so a screwdriver blade goes in to enable adjustment. This all takes about 15 min and no faffing about with pushrods is required. 1 Quote

And cutting a grove in the top? this rod sits in the snail section of the sprocket engine case Quote
Joseph Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 On the outer side of the sprocket cover you have a rubber plug. Behind that is a screw and lock nut designed for fine tuning of the clutch play on the cable clutch system 2 Quote
