Clutch Adjustment

Unknown

I had worked my vectors wrong and made the clutch further out of

adjustment by lengthening the link as I thought I should. A quick change had

the link shortened as much as it would go and this did improve the action of

the pedal. The problem is that I ran out of room to shorten the link before

all of the free play was taken up. The threaded shaft hits the loop on the

pedal if it is brought in even one more turn.

It would seem that I will have to grind 1/4" to a 1/2" off of the link to

make it work. Surely this can't be right? I checked and I had used 1/32"

material to make the clutch gasket, not 1/16". Would this make the

difference? Looking at the link, there really doesn't seem to be any reason

why grinding a bit off would hurt anything. Can anyone think of any problems

that might arise? Unfortunately, it will be another week before I can get at

this project again.
