I got tired of waiting for Frank to send me a battery, I should have gone to tractor supply, anyhow, I installed a 2 AH gel cell in it just to try to get it running. Started pretty easy, but the clutch is feeling very strange, it adjusts fine like the book says, but it doesn't dis-engage. It feels real spongy at the end of pulling it, I remember it used to sort of break over and I could hold it there with not much pressure. Of course I can't get it into gear this way. I'm sure the actuating lever is not fallen down, but will check again. I'm using the stock plates and my original cable. I just removed the plates and cleaned them up, they have some slight rust pitting in the steel plates, but are not rough and they are dry.
I also noticed that the triplex chain did not have any oil on it, I put in the chain case what the book recommended. Maybe I should fill it to the fill hole? Don't know if it was.
I'm going up to inspect the actuator lever. How much should the diaphragm move when pulling on the clutch?
OK, more information. I can screw in the adjuster on the diaphragm, and get it to break over and release, but I cannot get it adjusted with the little bit of free play in the actuator arm?
