Alright, I've got my blaster back together. New reeds, .40 wiseco piston, fresh clutch kit w/ heavy duty springs, new sprocket, and a boatload of other mods. Engine 1, the stockish wiseco piston blaster...
I took the clutch basket and inner boss off the quad and filed down the grooves to a smooth finish. I did this so it would last a few mx races and delay my purchase of a billet basket for a few weeks.
I have adjusted the clutch pushrod in the motor and the lever arm on the motor lines up with the mark on the case. The clutch lever is properly adjusted. I have done a search, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. When I turn the rear wheels with the chain with the clutch pulled in in 1st it does not allow them to move, or does so with an assload of resistance. So I looked at it again and the last two plates, regular friction and steel behind the cushion spring and between the inner boss don't move.
Question is, I haven't started the motor just yet, but want to know if I can get the plates to catch by pulling in the clutch lever and slamming the rear brake downshifting to first? Or slip it 2 times? Would the heat allow the fibers and plates to expand and thus allow them to catch the others in the pack? How do I fix this? The measurements are correct, my pushrod #1 is rounded at the Phillips tip, and I'm pissed.
Please help, maybe it's simple and I'm fretting over nothing. Thanks in advance.
