Stiff clutch on a 1919

Unknown

Took my friends 1919 touring for a 15 mile drive today...FUN.. lots of

power...BUT

I need wisdom on a clutch problem...it has one of the stiffest clutches I

have ever driven. It takes a great deal of effort to push the pedal down.

The clutch works smoothly but is too stiff

The ex-owner said the clutch was light until the rebuilt engine was

installed. (the clutch was not rebuilt..just re-installed according to the

prior owner). Since I have been asked to help fix this problem....where

do I start, what was most likley done wrong????



Thanks for your help "Hudsonless Bill"
