[QUOTE="Matty, post: 53951, member: 1339"] I have had my Comet for 58 years and use it all the time. I normally expect to free it each day by pulling in the lever an giving the kick start a kick. My clutch plates have not been changed since the 50s and have done around 80000 miles and are of the woven variety of insert. I use 20/50 engine oil in the chain case. The material only extends a few thou each side of the plates and always looks worn out but works fine. First gear usually goes in quietly when cold but crunches in unless on very slow tick over when hot. Hope this may help. Matty [/QUOTE]
