Just completed fitting a 5 speed quaife gear set in my 4speed housing. I put the BNR clutch & belt on & it kicked the center hub over fine until I adjusted the clutch springs, now it will not kick thru. I can spin the motor & clutch over fine.... It is in neutral, Just trying to figure this out, I'm 230lbs & standing in the kicker with no clutch movement, before I break something
I though I would ask the question ...

This is the final obstacle keeping me from my 1st start up...

I would pull the inner cover back off and double check the gear assembly. Putting the Quaife 5-speed together is like putting 10 lb. of crap in a 5 lb. bag. If I remember correctly one of the shift forks has to be able to fit over another? It's been several years for me, but I had nightmares getting it to fit properly. I finally got it, then somebody sent me a copy of the instructions so I could double check! :eek:
 
The inner clutch hub spins nice, with no bind when I kick it over
Then I tighten the clutch springs, then it fills locked up..... it is in neutral & the motor & clutch hub spins when I put a ratchet to it... I am installing a BNR belt drive also..

It has a rebuilt motor but plugs are pulled it should kick over....
Just doesn't make sense to me at the moment
