I have a 1980 xs650 and i pulled the engine to replace some seals and clutch springs.
Q: 1. Should the clutch basket be tightened down all the way? or is there a specific tension?
2. I pulled the starter motor (because it was shot) and wanna run just kick start. When i go to kick start (engine off the bike) the front sproket turns but i do not hear the the pistons moving up or down and the intake manifolds (carbs are off too) are not sucking in air. Any ideas?
3. Also my pushrod is about a 1/4" from the clutch push screw housing when the side casing is on. Did i loose a ball bearing? if so, where did it go and how do i get it out?
4. What is the best way to install a longer push rod? Do i need ball bearings?
Thanks in advance to all that respond!
