F8 clutch - help!

[david moore]

My clutch is free, free at last!
I used a combination of advice received :
1.-- shortenened the operating rod from the pedal by adding more threaded portion/lopping a half inch off the end and tightening it up at the clevis so as to shorten the excessive free play and maybe getting a more complete "throw" on the actual clutch fingers

2.-- plentiful spray of brake cleaner through the little access hatch onto the general area of the clutch disc

3.-- putting the back axle up on stands and just spinning it on the starter in gear with the clutch pedal pressed down and applying the foot brake intermittently

and bingo!

Thanks for great advice - that's what MLU is all about for novices like me!
