Ok thanks, I'll try. It has already no play left....

did you check the plates had space between them with the clutch compressor tightened down when you installed it?

what clutch lever have you used?

Nop. I'm good for a little splitting and checking the whole thing. You can imagine how happy I am....

sounding daft! but have you tried cutting the handle bar lever to get more "movement"

I bought the yamaha MB conversion lever. Looks fine and easy to pull even with MB springs.

Ok, got the whole thing apart and found quickly what was going wrong: I forgot to fit the clutch nipple on top of the pressure flange. Sounds french doesn't it? I made less than one km and the nipple onto of the flange was almost destroyed. Just time for ordering the missing parts and à moi la route!

Lince back home and first road trials. Very pleasant engine indeed. Obviously a bit too lean on main but rideable anyway. lots of guts and no inertia like an old fashioned 2 stroke KTM. Breaking still in its running in process. Shocks are the revelation. Standard 30 years old serveta front and rear absorbers are just one step beyond some new curry/thailand crappy ones available in term of confort and road handling. Just amazing....

Ola-la ,
it looks amazing,jet it safely and enjoy it,

I don't want to spoil your topic with the exhaust problem,
the Lince looks great

Exactly the same prob. S-box stub is way out of the cylinder flange when box fitted (hardly) to the chain casing. One idea was to cut a slice of the down pipe and weld it back. But that sucks a lot to do Marco's job. I got the exhaust for more than a year and Marco never answered my questions either; I'll never buy him a pipe again. This is not the way I want to be treated. S-box is full of promises but needs a serious adaptive work to fit properly. Anyway this fitting issue is a further project when I'll get pissed off by the gori's noise.
I'm beginning my carb fine jetting today.

initial carb setup: PJ: 54 MJ: 110, X2/266AS now PJ:54 MJ: 121 still a bit too lean. Next try with PJ:54 MJ 125 Sounds close to the average set up.
