Ok guys, back at it again last night to get familiar with a lot of the reassembly. I may have to remove certain pieces again to grease them up as I had no grease on me at the time. I'll have to swing by the hardware store tonight on my way home.
DISCLAIMER: Imgur is giving me a hard time with uploads lately and some of the picture steps I can't get to import.
Started with this
As stated, I'm going kick only. Which if I'm correct means that none of those gears behind the clutch need to go back in. Can anyone confirm? It just looks like this
Now to put this back in. It slides through and out the other side of the cases where it's held on by a washer and then a c clip.
Washer first
Then C Clip. This is the bag I had labeled "clutch star arm," it's all making sense now. Too bad I can't get this damn clip on here lol, I'll wait for the grease on that but if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.
From here it was on to the clutch. First off, I think it's important to point something out with regard to the pushrod system. Earlier in the thread someone had mentioned that this system functions off three balls when I stated that I had only two. This is true, but misleading in that you aren't likely to have three of the 5/16 ball bearings removed as one sits inside the clutch worm gear. This was driving me crazy as I was trying to find the third ball and a diagram showing where it was located. You only need two in hand, and so armed with this knowledge I began the reassembly.
This is the clutch gear on the right side of the engine. Place the parts inside in the order below.
Smaller rod, tapered end first
Then a bearing
Larger rod, either direction first
Then the second bearing
At this point in the installation the small rod you installed first should be sticking out the left side of the case about this far
In the next post I'll tackle the clutch basket install itself.
