They are completely broken down. What is the black plastic 90 degree drain looking thing with a hose connection on it? I cant get any carb cleaner through that. Also, for anybody reading: Somebody else had been in these carbs before and might not have put the PAJ's back in the correct spots...

Also Im cleaning the carbs because they get crap fueling past about 4K rpm. It idles great, and pulls awesome right then the midrange gets pretty sad and i havent taken it higher than about 7. When coming to a stop sometimes the idle also gets stuck at about 3000 for a bit or until i go into...

Im going through and flushing all the holes and passageways with carb cleaner and some are clogged. Is there a photo set with all the little straw size holes and what they are? I suspect a few arent supposed to connect anywhere and will always spray back at me but a few are concerning. I...

Yup ok cool I made sure I lined those dots up. ill still check to see if i have a gap though

How weird, well i left the clutch cover off so ill pull the pressure plate and give it a look tonight. Could you see the gap even with the pressure plate still bolted on?

As in the 6 bolts werent tight enough when you put the pressure plate back on? I went until the bolts stopped into their clutch basket arms but didnt actually crank on em. Figured the stock torque spec was basically wrist tight Also what was the issue like when it happened for you?

Well shoot if theyre all the same except that half friction at the very back im out of ideas as to why i cant get my clutch to fully disengage or why the clutch lever stops an inch short. I have all new Caltric friction plates in there, should I switch back to all old plates and see if that...

http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?t=10938 this thread says the OUTERMOST friction plate is unique and must be put back in place. So the plate right before the pressure plate is different too? How so, is it thinner? Because I didnt notice any that were different except the little half one...

the mystery continues damn

Ok yeah the o ring is in the right spot good call with the photo ive been googling images for the last 10 minutes looking for it. Would the clutch even work at all without that ball? that was the only thing i didnt check last night

like 3/4 of the way down it.

Wait a minute, the pushrod (#20) had an o ring on it. In the diagram it makes it look like that o ring is between the pushrod and the ball. Did that little guy work his way onto my pushrod and is causing the clutch to stick...

But with the clutch spring on, and I even went so far as to install the double D mod and put both springs on they dont exert enough pressure to get the same full return of clutch fluid i was able to get by pushing on it myself.

Ok, so i had the plates off to check them, all good. one of each plate (one half friction one clutch) behind the spring clip then 6 clutch and 7 friction in front. pulled the pushrod (#17) out to check. Put it back in and reached up and pulled the clutch lever to check the action. The push rod...

More weird news! was checking the order of the push rod and such and noticed that the clutch lever would stop in the usual spot unless i pushed the pushrod back in REALLY hard and forced all the fluid to return. then the lever actions fully. Ideas?
