Well, I am at the point of removing the engine and rebuild the starter clutch assy for my 84 1200A. All attempts to loosen it up have failed. I rebuilt the starter, which spins well on the bench, tried push starting, block of wood and a hammer (lightly on the case), removed belt covers and manually turned engine. Starter lines up good and splines engage straight up. Chain moves freely in opposite direction of cranking and is locked in th direction of cranking. So with the belt covers off, it is time to concede and drop the engine this week and see what makes this clutch tick, or in my case NOT tick.
Does anyone have any experience with this procedure that might make it go smoothly?? Also I figure I might as well do some other PM with the motor out. Any recommedations on what might require some attention?
Thanks for your replys.
