I was curious to why this is. I am 100% positive i put the steels and plates in properly and aligned it all correctly. I am using a 10w30 mineral oil so I don't think that's the problem as I ran it before the rebuild. Maybe the pushrod is not adjusted? I heard you have to adjust them which I did not as I didn't see no such setting in the Haynes manual, would appreciate any help or information!!!</p>

That must go on first.</p>
<p dir="auto">Assuming you've done that, then the clutch springs must be torqued up appropriately and within spec.</p>
<p dir="auto">The clutch MUST spend 24 hours soaked in oil prior to their installation, this means to take each clutch plate out on their own and bathe them in a layer of oil for 24 hours.</p>
<p dir="auto">The clutch is actuator by the cam arm, two push rods separated by the ball bearing.</p>
<p dir="auto">However, this is used to disengage the clutch, which wouldn't cause it slip.</p>
<p dir="auto">If it's been set so that it's never engaged, then this would be where you look.</p>
<p dir="auto">First starting at the clutch basket, you want to ensure the screw and nut have been adjusted appropriately.</p>
<p dir="auto">Once you're confident that's been done, then you adjust at the cam arm.</p>
<p dir="auto">And once that's done, you make your final amendments to the clutch perch.</p>
