NKT267, "Also you are using 5 friction plates not 4 aren't you,as mine slipped with 4 but only when lubricated.John"
Thank You, I think you have it. I had been pondering the number of plates.
As received it had 4 friction plates. Asking around I was told some have 4 and some 5 so 4 was correct.
I initially tried 5 but the outer was almost on the edge of the basket so I assembled it with 4.
Disassembled it all yesterday, washed it with petrol and fitted the fifth plate with a 'thin' plain plate. It will now kickover. I didnt have time to do more than run it on the hill, dry, when it worked flawlessly.
The springs are the original ones so will bear your thoughts in mind.
Next weekend I will add oil........
