If the LS screw isnt having any effect on it running then it might be plugged.I'd give carb good cleaning and check the screen by the diaphragm.

I had trouble with the 8k clutch spring binding in the holes they go through.I wonder if that might cause the shoes to stick or not close all the way,or open all the way too.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

I will look into those as well, thanks Cherry...

 

[cherryride]

glad to help anytime!

That 990 carb looking better all the time! lol

Yes... I am trying not to buy it yet, I did just spring the money for the truck- then the pipe and killswitch...

I have a list of parts for about $150 that I want, all dealing with air and fuel... but I want to wait until I finish a couple of leather jobs to order it all...

I did just see a post thought where they are only 38 bucks at gizmotors

and I did do some clutch work the other night installing the 8k...

If the clutch was engaging the clutch bell, your tires would spin when you yank the pull start.

I know how you feel.

I can't get enough of these. LOL Its all Deluge's fault. LOL

Damn you!

If the clutch is dragging, what can be done about it? Should I just put the old clutch back in or can it be sanded down a little?

Put the old clutch back on and see if that solves the issue.

Took the belt off and sure enough, as I pull the starter, the belt pulley starts to spin...

That's a problem. Now we just need to figure out why.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

as soon as I can get the gear plate off, maybe we will know...

If nothing else, I really have no issues with the original clutch... it's not like anyone else here has a gasser I can race against... It's just me and the smaller scale guys out playing around. My pipe comes in soon and I will do whatever it takes to have it running when the dominator is ready for installation... I know that it will add tons more performance than an 8k clutch....

Is that the 8k clutch in there that is currently binding?

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

yes sir...

 

[Guest]

I will grab one from inventory and make sure it's to specks.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

cool... and I will sit here at work and wonder why Joe cant make an MT go... ha ha ha

8k clutch is fine. Did you install all four washers on the clutch bolts? The spring washers in front and the flat washers in the back. It should not rock on the mount. The spring washers should just hold the clutch snug against the mount.

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

As far as I know It all went back on just like it came off... but I will have to wait till I can get the gear plate off to find out...

 

[Guest]

I through one on my mt and it did not rub on the clutch. I'm interested to hear what you find.
