Default RE: mouse trap clutches

Loosen clutch lever rod lock nut and unscrew clutch lever rod far enough so clutch actuating lever has about 1/2" in free movement. Move end of actuating lever forward to a position where it becomes firm indicating that all slack in the actuating mechanism has been taken up. The distance from the foot shifter housing on the transmission to the outer edge of camfered slot should be 4/1/4". If necessary adjust as follows...

Remove clutch cover, loosen push rod adjusting screw to the right to move lever to rear; left to move it forward. Tighten nut, install cover.

Loosen control coil adjusting sleeve lock nut and turn in adjusting sleeve until clutch hand grip has an inch or more free play. Loosen bell crank adjusting screw until bell crank fails to go across top dead center. Loosen clutch booster spring adjusting nut as far as it will go.

Turn out bell carank adjusting screw a little at a time until bell crank moves over top dead center and remains in that position when released. Move bell crank by hand, not with control hand lever. Bell crank should find locked position about 1/8" over dead center. Tighten adjusting screw lock nut.

Adjust clutch hand lever so that actuating lever has 1/16" free movement.
