Clutch System

n

Drive Belt Deflection

Measure belt deflection with both

clutches at rest and in their full

neutral position.
Place a straight edge on the belt

and apply downward pressure

while measuring at point A. This

measurement should be 1 1/4"

(3.2 cm).

Drive Belt Adjustment

1. Install the L-wrench into the open threaded hole in the outer sheave

of the clutch (see page 96). Turn the wrench clockwise slightly to

remove pressure from the sheaves.

2. Loosen the 7/16" jam nut.
3. Using a 1/8" Allen wrench, turn the set screw inward (clockwise) to

increase the distance between the sheaves or outward

(counterclockwise) to decrease the distance.

4. Tighten the jam nut. Store the L-wrench in the tool kit.

Torque Stop

Periodically check torque stop clear-

ance. With clutches in proper align-

ment, measure rear torque stop

clearance from the engine case. Rear

torque stop clearance should be .010"-

.030" (.25-.75mm). Adjust if neces-

sary. Secure the nut.
