Got it apart today. Slipping so bad it wouldn't overcome compression on kicking. It's been sitting for few a few years. Got a couple questions.
I always ran the recommended motor oil in the trans, but put some Belray gearsaver in it before I parked it up. Would that cause a problem?
When I pulled it apart the gasket ripped, which sucks as I don't have another. I prefer to glue them to the cover and grease the other side, but the permetex stuff I used last time let me down.
Any gasket glue recommendation will help.
I'm going back to Rotella 15-40 in the tranny as it has always worked in the other bikes.
Where I think I screwed the pooch when I put this back together is by putting all those little rubber nubs back in between the clutch discs. Most of them were hard as rocks lol! Thankfully I picked up another clutch, so the plan is to use the best parts and get this going again.
I found the clutch on my wife's A1 samurai to be a prick of a thing. There was not a lot of adjustment before it started to slip.
Check the usual things first.
If that fails, I ended up reshaping the ramp on the throw out plate and fitting an aftermarket lever perch.
