[QUOTE="nkt267, post: 55367, member: 245"] Yes I made a good note of this,I had sort of figured out that the plunger pressure controls how quickly the shoes engage, but hadn't appreciated how important the amount of travel could be. Anyway last night I made a new plunger a little longer than the new one I bought so as to get the plunger in a better position with the C14 pin.I also did not drill as deeply for the spring recess so that the sring pressure would be a little increased. All was assembled last night and left till this morning. In the meantime I read Greg's post about checking the travel of the plunger,so I got out a C7 shoe that I was given to play with. I checked the plunger travel as Greg suggested and found that I only had to back the thimble off 1/3rd of a turn from fully in,a lot less than I thought and have read about in other VOC sources ie Whitikerpedia. Interestingly when I put my clutch back together last night I only had the thimble backed off about 3/4 turn from the bottom,I need to recheck this inlight of todays information. BUT I ran the bike up the road today,more slack in the cable as per Greg's post and I seem to have a clutch..When I can give it a good run I will report back..John [/QUOTE]
