Two steps forward and one big step back...
Ran to Richmond this morning to pick up a bike for a member, and got back to piddle a bit on the bike. I mounted the two speed driven clutch pack on the jackshaft plate to size the jackshaft and cut it to length. I got lucky and the output side ended up right next to a "c" clip groove, so that side is needing only a bushing and a clip. The input side requires a lock collar, but should be just fine behind the clutch guard or exposed.
I tried to remove the 2 speed from the jackshaft and ended up not doing so because the outermost gear came apart and two of the ratchet (????) directional rods fell out.....:doah:....and I had to take the whole thing apart to fit it back together with four tiny rectangular springs. I should have taken a picture of this, but my hands were covered in grease by this point.
I did get the jackshaft plate and the engine test fitted and secured to the engine plate. This task was not particularly easy with only two hands!
Then, a step backwards. I was under the delusion that I could sleeve the 5/8" crankshaft and the 3/4 ID 2-speed clutch would fit just fine. NOPE.
hmy:The key in the clutch was not deep enough to fit in the crank keyway.:no::facepalm::no: So I played a little bit more and finally decided to throw in the towel and call Max-Torque. Jim is a heck of a guy just like everybody has said. So, he's making me up a one off 5/8" bore two speed clutch. Should have it Thursday or so. :deal:
