Re: [HSS] Help! Need clutch problem cure for 29 Super Six

Unknown

Did you turn it over while the keroseen was in it? Put a stick to hold the

clutch pedal down, and let it set with the keroseen in it, and turn it to a

different spot each day. KLet the stuff work. But you need the pedal

depressed to take the pressure off and let the corks swell up.
