Clutch Adjustment.

WARNING

Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it
against engine before performing any adjust-
ments, repairs or maintenance.

NOTE

Do not overtighten control wire. Too much ten-
sion may cause it to break.

1.With clutch lever released (in up position),

adjust the bottom nut at the cable bracket so
there is only a slight amount of slack in the
control wire. See Figure 3-110. Tighten upper
nut against bracket. Squeeze clutch lever
against handle. The control wire should now be
straight.

2.Secure end of spark plug wire in the V slot on

the engine. With clutch grip released (neutral
position), pull starter cord several times. The
tines should not turn. If they do, adjust hex
nuts at clutch cable bracket. Check again for
correct adjustment.
