So after seemingly having no compression, amd searching here for tips, i find that I have a clutch issue. I pulled the RH case cover off and when I turn the kick lever, I can see the metal plates rotating inside the clutch basket. It is a,somewhat, freshly rebuilt enigne that hasnt been started yet. Installed all new friction and drive plates from MikesXS, and used the Mikes/XS Performance clutch springs with the aluminum sleeves and allen bolts.
I should also note that this issue was happening before I even put oil in the engine and before I had a clutch cable and worm gear hooked up.
Is it possible that the aluminum sleeves were too long? I've read a lot that the springs that Mikes provided were not the best either. It just seemed that there wasnt enough pressure on the pressure plate to get a good luck-up in the clutch hub.
I'm thinking of just going to the stock setup but dont have any of the original parts.
Any have any experience with the mikes clutch bolt setup?
