Rich :you were right tried leaving nut hand tight and it worked. Thank You Mike

My super rat has a 98 Rat engine. I have cleaned clutch and reassembled 3 or 4 times but clutch still doesn't work . It will crank with clutch lever pulled in , and will not take off just dies like you jam it in gear with using clutch. Any suggestions ... Mike Hall

Thanks Brian , So if its does crank with lever pulled you have something together wrong or not adjusted properly right.
Brian 1 more question how free should clutch hub slide in cage ?

This may be a silly question but should my super rat crank over and start with clutch lever pulled in? Kick starter just free wheels,with clutch lever pulled in gear ,I ve tried everything and now have clutch assembly out and giving it a cleaning. Mike Hall
