Hey guys i just put a new clutch in my blaster because it was slipping really bad. So i put a new clutch kit in and it grabs but when u go hard on the throttle it still slips. so any ideas of what the problem is? thanks

it took me 4 or 5 times to get this right, very frustrating,
do all this with the cable disconnected at the hand lever so it doesnt effect the internal adjustment,
open her up, again!!!, loosen the locknut and screw, back it out a little, (the adjustment shaft in the middle of the clutch basket)
then where the cable connects to the motor lever,theres a notch that lines up, look on the engine lever for the little point and a mark on the case, line these up, make sure it doesnt move while adjusting, a freind would be good here,
then move to the other side, tighten the rod in with a small straight screwdriver till you feel it touch, then i think i read somewhere to back it off 1/2 a turn,then tighten the locknut, <<<<definately use locktite here, mine almost came loose, and thats disaster,
then reconnect the cable to the hand lever, and adjust your slack
i also did this with the wheels off the ground, so i could spin them with the clutch lever pulled in,to see if the wheels spun free, or if there was engine lag as i released it, before i put it all back together

still not engaging enough to free spin the tires any suggestions i am noy sure if the bb is in there i baught a new one and put it in but maybe it fell out when i was installing the motor also it is adjusted all the way in what i mean is on the clutch its self and when i hook up the lever and pull that is adjusted all the way out so iy is as tight as possible its like its not engaging enough still maybe do i need a new cable its a 2000 blaster new clutch plates a total of seven friction plates like the manufacturer said and started with friction ended with friction
You know maybe your actuator (like mine) is messed up. The rod could have welded thesleves together causing it to rub a hole in the actuator shaft , therefore causing it to slip
i checked the actuater looks fine to me i guess i am going to tip it to the side and see if the bb and the other rod comes out and go from there
checked rods and bb are all in i can see as i adjust on the clutch the actuater moving back and forth is there any thing special about the way the plates are installed
another quick question does the shifter have play back and forth because mine does and seems to screw up the shifting. and please someone help me with the clutch i am at a loss
