P200 engine, that I have re-built with a standard Indian clutch. Soaked the plates before building the clutch and de-burred the rough edges. Then 6 months later stuck the engine into my rally. However, on letting out the clutch, it screeches, but pulls away OK, with no judder. And, although I had a full face helmet on, it did sound like a faint screech when riding for a 2 mile test run.
Have I missed something in the clutch re-build, or could the corks have dried out.
Thanks

a screech always makes me suspect warped steels

First id check the oil levels in the motor.
It could also be the brass bush in the clutch making the screech

New clutch coming out tomorrow for a good inspection. And bolted back up with an M12 K nut, rather than the knuckle scraping castle nut

Sorted now.
Took the clutch out Friday and cork plates were quite dry. Although they had been soaked gear oil previously, they have sat in the engine, on the garage floor for the past 9 months. So again soaked them for 24 hours and clutch works perfectly.
Must admit to having a scary moment getting the woodruff key in place and then the clutch to locate with all the warnings that if it dropped out and fell into the gear box that it would be a complete strip down. But despite fumbling fingers, got past that trauma.
Bolted clutch back onto shaft with K Nut, which I'm a big fan of these nuts

They are aircraft quality high carbon steel Metric Aerospace Locknuts are small, lightweight, self locking, extremely strong and are used where space is at a premium. The upper threaded portion is deformed to produce the self locking action. See link below for an explanation www.aircraftfast.com/jet-nuts.htmUsed them to fit my SIP rims to this rally as the SIP nut would not grip enough thread.   |
