Good morning Charlie, sorry I couldn’t make the Weeley weekend, I would have loved to actually met some of the members of the club – face to names is invaluable.

So are you saying that in the locked position the tines should not rotate? If that is the case how much slack should there be in the cable as there isn’t much in mine and I am reluctant to have no slack as it could lead to premature clutch plate wear. Now I can extend the locking lever mechanism, but how far should the lever be in its travel to disengage the tines, but still not slip the drive when engaged in the running condition?

I overcome the problem on my running machine with the aid of a slack tie-wrap to hold the clutch lever in the fully UP position
