Last weekend I hooked up my clutch cable to the cable and the lever on the motor for the clutch. Now my question is, can anyone please post a pic of how far the clutch piece on the motor is suppose to pivot to disengage the clutch? Mine doesnt move very far and I figured with the clutch lever pulled in I could spin the sprocket while in gear but it doesnt do that. It is still in gear. My clutch cable is adjusted out all the way. Any help with this would be appreciated, thanks.

your engine is still dry from when ya purchased it isnt it?

ya cant go by what your doing. lots of times when an engine sets awhile the clutch plates and steels will stick.

the best thing to do is to set the adjustment up at the handle bars all the way in and then adjust the cable at the engine as far out as it needs to be and then fine tune at the handle bars.

specs for adjustment are 3/8" - 3/4" free play at the tip of the clutch lever.

hope this helps:cool:
