so anyway i recently purchased a used 87 fxstc and im trying to fix a few clutch issues. i replaced the clutch plates about 6 months ago along with clutch cable and cant for the life of me get the settings to take. i hav a clymers and hav been through all the steps at least five times. everytime i try riding it i get to 3rd and it starts lunging forward,backfiring loudly eventually dying. i can usually get it started long enough to muddle it home but then i open the primary seems to b rubbed up and the plates seem to be getting scratched up pretty good. any ideas would b appreciated. could this actually b trans. related?

if you have been through the clutch and clutch cable install forward and backward and can rely on the fact that you followed all the directions carefully, I would look into the two things mentioned above... looking at the high speed jet on the carb first to eliminate fouling... then on to the electrical system and the ECM. Be methodical and check off the things that you have done to keep track... pretty soon it will be running fine... it's not all that complicated, but it can be frustrating.
