Clutch Adjustment

[roccorich 16]

Ive done some searches and they all say undo the nocknut and then adjust the nut above it to adjust the clutch.

 

However if I turn the nut the cable just twists?

 

Also how should it be set.

 

Ive usually adjusted clutches so there is a small amount of freeplay in the lever so you know its disengaged.

 

This one I can pull the lever back a small amount then it springs back but cannot push the lever in at all.

There is a height specified in the haynes manual, about 200mm from the bulkhead springs to mind.

 

get some mole grips on the un-threaded section and free the nut off, I would wind a die down the threads to clean the corrosion off, you have cracked the 10mm locknut off and are turning the 13mm nut right?

Ye the 13mm nut.

 

Cheers will give that a try.
