Re: Clutch Enhancement?

Wonderful, wonderful!

The clutch adjustment tool I ordered on September 9 from TopMarks arrived today!

Glad my doubts were wasted.

Clutch Enhancement?

When studying the situation I noticed that somewhere back in time someone had revised the clutch mechanism. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190911/5f49e93134bb8b44852e26377207dc06.jpg Note that a length of me...
