my last post was about my clutch hitting the casing and i thought it was because i hadnt used a gasket but now ive realised that it seems to stop hitting when you pull in the clutch lever it doesnt make sense because surely when u pull clutch lever the clutch would hit the casing even more but it doesnt it stops hitting anyone shed any light on this the bikes been in the garage for weeks i need to get it goin suffering from withdrawel symptoms

and know the bike has decided it wants to rev on its own ive checked all carb hoses reed valves for leaks cant find anything wrong with them any ideas guys

I would check the clutch hub and everything else to make sure it's all in correctly. As for the throttle problem inspect the throttle cable at the perch as it will allow the bike to rev if it's not adjusted correctly.

its revving up and down though from idle up to 1/4 throttle then to idle.
As for clutch i cant understand it i put everything back the way it come off well now im kinda doubting myself though how does it go im sure i put mine in starting washer,clutch basket,washer,big nut,hub,plates,rod,bearing,front plate,spring and bolts.

 

[stevied645]

could the base of the carb gasket being broken cause this revving up and down i got my mate to clean carb out while i was putting head back together and hes a bit harsh with things so anythings possible

the big nut goes on after the hub...
and the revving is an air leak somewhere....

 

[stevied645]

yeah hub then nut thats what i meant

 

[dmstarr]

I don't remember if you replaced the clutch pack...did you put an extra set of plates in?
Another possibility: If you didn't have the actuator arm in the right position, the push rod may not be setting in far enough and holding the pressure plate out too far.

i never changed clutch just put the one that came of back on the way it came off ill get it sorted this weekend and keep everyone posted

Not sure what your bike is. Missed the other thread. But on my Suzi, my clutch had two different size springs. One was longer. Maybe got them reversed?

Good luck with it.

had a very similar situation on one of my 125's, I replaced all the bearings and spacers, still same noise, what I found was a slight dent in the cover that it would rub on when just idling, out of gear, as soon as you'd pull in the clutch it was gone.

 

[stevied645]

my casing isnt dented at all im going to take clutch back of this weekend and try sort it out it doesnt really make sense at all i just think its something weird because it goes away when you pull in clutch lever would have thought it would have got worse

 

[dmstarr]

it goes away when you pull in clutch lever would have thought it would have got worse

I still think your push rod and actuator arm are not meshing properly.

could the base of the carb gasket being broken cause this revving

Absolutely.

 

[stevied645]

I still think your push rod and actuator arm are not meshing properly.

by actuator arm do you mean the clutch lever on the left hand side crank case what would cause them not to mesh properly

 

[dmstarr]

yes, I mean that. The arm where the clutch cable connects. There is a flat area, and when you pull the clutch, the rounded part causes the pushrod to push the pressure plate out, disengaging the clutch. If you have it installed wrong, the rod would always be pushed too far out, causing the pressure plate to contact the case.

 

[dmstarr]

i just read on another thread that you got it straightened out....what was it?!?

 

[stevied645]

im actually not sure i took the full lot apart cleaned everything and put it all back together again and now it is fine didnt notice anything that could have been causing it just happy its half fixed now thanks for the help any help on the reving would be much appreciated
