[QUOTE="aljobo, post: 932, member: 326"] I am building a Shadow I brought in from overseas in large lumps. Assembling the clutch and tightening up the nut C20, at a point way before the nut is tight, the whole assembly locks up. I have tried removing the seal 18/1 to see if its that that is causing the jam, but it makes no difference. It is as if there is no "shoulder" on the whole shaft assembly the clutch nut butts up against. The chamfered face of the rear part of the clutch shoe carrier looks flattened by being up against a face somewhere. I have to say that I didn't remove the clutch sprocket, as the engine sprocket and primary drive chain were already in position, so I don't know what's going on behind it. I would appreciate any advice, as this kind of thing can take ages to sort out by trial and error (mainly the latter). Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
