Thanks for the plug Mark, but you and Jimmy get all the credit. I said Amen, when the sync was finished and that's about it. A job well done, the I/S really ran great on the way home, no more putt-a-putt putt. The stew was delicious and the wrenching was informative, I learned a lot. I hope Jimmy was as pleased with the clutch repair as I was the carb syncing. Thanks again for allowing me to participate and learn. Pics and Instructions for Clutch replacement: Look under the right side  Look under the left side  Remove all this stuff  Take this thing out  NO, that's not HotGlue Bar B Que  Put all this stuff back in and you are done.  |

Let me tell you all sumthin..... That Hot Glue is a master tool maker/fabricator. He made a tool to compress the clutch pack and it worked like a CHAMP! I told him he should set up and make about a dozen of them and I could sell them for $50 each, not the $200 Honda wants for their special tool..... And he made this one out of junk in da junk pile. Hahahaha. Still, hardest part of the day was that danged ole center cover and the chrome petcock cover thingy.  The pot roast was to DIE for and we ate under the patio. It was great! Thanks to HG, Eli, and FB for making the day so easy. Hay  Jimmyt |

I find it profoundly cool that there is a picture of Lazer Pat on the wall behind that work bench.
I didn't know him well... but right from the very start he was unduly nice to me...
And he seemed like a person of great merit.
So for what it's worth... Saa-LUTE!

When I noticed that later, I thought that was pretty cool also. I'll post a more detailed version of what was done on the clutch replacement later. Thanks for noticing Pat.

LD, mine just started chattering on takeoff a couple of weeks ago. I parked it and ordered the parts. I didn't want to cause any more damage. Replaced the plates, spring, and gasket. It took a good long time, but most of that was taking off all of the bling to get to the back of the engine. Hay Jimmyt |

P.S. My clutch started the chatter on take off at 92,500 miles. In case anyone is keeping track. Wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, with the help of HG and RD. Hay Jimmyt |
