It never stops does it? it took me hours to refit the engine single handed, and then I found the Gear box has become so “Notchy” that I cant turn it quick enough to spin the engine fast enough to fire it! also the clutch is slipping, so taken the engine back off and removed the clutch and will have to fit stronger springs, the manual says 30 ft lb of torque, but that would just close the springs , leaving no movement for the clutch to release, also need to find out why I have made the gear box “Notchy” in my restoration! Ah Well.

Sorry for the delay, have been away, YES, the “Notchiness” feels as if gear teeth are almost engaging, and yes it is the same now I have taken the engine off, I thought at first it was something to do with the jackshaft selector, but I have taken that off and still no joy, I have tried moving all the gear selectors, and that does not help, I cant think what I have done, as I did not open the gearbox during the restoration, unless I have done something to the clutch shaft.?

I will get back to you Charlie when I can get down the barn and check the gear lever in drive, I will have to take the wheels off to try it, or raise them off the ground, so far I have only tried it in neutral.
