clutch engagement/adjustment after new chain & sprockets.

[mceachern_13]

Just replaced my chain and spockets, put everything back together and for some reason the clutch wont engage now. Clutch push rod is still good, I know the solution is simple but I cant come to think of it!

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Removing the lifter has somehow disturbed its adjustment or, if it was disassembled, it's not been put back right.

Firts make sure it's gone back together right - if it did come apart, then adjust the clutch like this:

Slacken off cable adjusters at top and bottom, loosen lifter locknut, back out screw a bit, ensure that lifter arm is as far down as it will go, gently turn screw in until it contacts pushrod, back it out a bit, (~1/8th of a turn), then nip up the locknut, roughly adjust cable with lower adjuster - not too tight - then with top adjuster ensure that there remains a little slack all the way from lock to lock.

Sid Squid's is absolutely spot on :winner:
