Hello people. I’ve been using my Hayter 21 regularly since April 25 and I’m really pleased with it. It starts and runs reliably after servicing carb and ignition, and I get loads more cut in the same time I was putting in before. I wondered if the power transfer to the wheels was as good as it could be, so I followed the service book to set up the clutch by setting the clutch leaf parallel with the machine body, but after doing this there is no drive at all.
Mine is a later model with castellated nut and split pin on the near side rear axle. The nut was only just being being held by the split and I’ve now fitted a thick washer to take up the slack so that with the clutch leaf adjusted, the castellated nut is backed off 1/6 a turn.
So I guess this means that the clutch linings / clutch plate are worn out and I’ll need to dive in further. How do I get the hub apart? thanks!
