[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 55357, member: 485"] Not sure, But I don't think the plungers should lock, One of our top sidecar racers told me, He screwed them right in so as to get fast gear changes, The stronger the springs the quicker the shoes will come away from the drum, But some say if you do it too much , It will make the clutch slip ! The outer plate clutch must be able to move the shoes into place to lock on the drum, If you try to turn the shoes , By hand on the pins, With out the outer clutch not fitted , You can see what is working, One way is for Kick starting and over run, The other way is Drive. If the plungers are not touching the pins, The slack will allow the shoes to flap about and maybe touch the drum befor you want them to, There should be 25 thou between the shoes and drum at rest.Cheers bill.
