Replaced the clutch basket on the CT this morning.
The part fit exactly as it should...I was careful to align to clutch springs into their bosses...clutch plates installed in correct order...gear turns only ONE way when assembled....done!
Before pouring in some AMSOIL synthetic, I figured I should test the clutch-action first.
Got her up on the center stand...in neutral...rear wheel spins freely. Kick into 1st gear and hold shifter UP...rear wheel spins (albeit with some effort)...release shifter...wheel in gear...PERFECT!
Replaced the rest of the side-case bolts...foot-pegs...battery (on charge the whole time) installed...bit of gas into the tank...starts first kick!
Check clutch action with running engine......works perfectly...another Hallelujah!
Now, I have another week or so before the new carb shows up.........she'll be ready to go in the Spring!
