[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 55565, member: 2879"] I am installing a V3 clutch on my B Rapide. I have also fitted the new type ET27/2 clutch adjuster. This fits into my B style G1 kickstart cover from the inside. This new type moves the pressure point of the G91 to the end of the lever, giving slightly more lift. It has a slotted end outside of the cover so a screwdriver can be used for adjustment, and it is longer than the standard ET27/1 AS. My problem is that when I adjust it out far enough to give the G91 lever slight play against the clutch rod when nearly against the outer edge of the kickstart cover opening, it protrudes out far enough to prevent the use of the kickstart lever. The inner 1/2" flange is about as far into the cover adjuster recess as it can go and is bottoming against the cover. I measured the clutch rod stickout from the G3 shaft at the kickstart end with the clutch engaged and it is .355". I think I followed the V3 instructions for clutch shaft shortening and fitting correctly, and don't want to shorten the clutch rod more if it is correct. How much lift/rod stickout is required for the V3? If it is only .250" or something like that I can shorten the rod and get quite a bit more of the ET27/2 adjuster into the cover. My other option is to shorten the adjuster and recut the screwdriver slot, but if that was necessary, others would have commented on it, I would think. Complicating things is the fact that I don't have the clutch cable and lever hooked up since the engine is separated from the front end, but I don't think this is a cable related problem. Before I bother the V3 distributor about this perhaps someone who has been through this with the new adjuster can see what I am missing. Ron [/QUOTE]
